Vitamins are essential nutrients that aid in metabolism, cell growth, and the appropriate functioning of other biomolecules. They are required for the proper functioning of various systems in human body. Both vitamin shortage and excess can pave the way for a variety of illnesses. They enter the body via food and supplements eaten, making it critical to measure the vitamin concentrations in food, medicines, and biological fluids. The concentrations of these vitamins are determined using a variety of techniques. The performance measure of the techniques like selectivity, sensitivity, and limit of detection is crucial in their utilization. Among the many techniques of determination, electrochemical sensing and optical sensing have garnered widespread interest because of their potential to improve performance. Additionally, the introduction of innovative materials has added a lot of benefits to sensing. The aim of this article is to summarize significant work toward recent improvements in electrochemical and optical methods for detecting different vitamins. Additionally, it attempts to assess the gaps in vitamin sensing in order to encourage researchers to fill such gaps that will benefit the community.
维生素是必需营养素，有助于新陈代谢、细胞生长以及其他生物分子的正常运作。它们是人体各种系统正常运作所必需的。维生素缺乏和过量都可能引发各种疾病。它们通过摄入的食物和补充剂进入人体，因此测量食物、药物和生物体液中的维生素浓度至关重要。这些维生素的浓度通过多种技术来测定。诸如选择性、灵敏度和检测限等技术性能指标在其应用中至关重要。在众多测定技术中，电化学传感和光学传感因其提升性能的潜力而受到广泛关注。此外，创新材料的引入为传感带来了诸多益处。本文旨在总结在检测不同维生素的电化学和光学方法近期改进方面的重要工作。此外，它还试图评估维生素传感方面的差距，以鼓励研究人员填补这些将造福社会的差距。
