Abstract: A highly sensitive electrochemical-based detector was fabricated to selectively sense methyl-parathion (MP). A Glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was functionalized with zinc oxide (ZnO) hollow spheres (ZnOHS) and a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) to form the developed sensor. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed to synthesize a molecularly imprinted polymeric film on the ZnOHS modified GCE (GCE/ZnOHS) by electropolymerization of functional monomer, l-arginine (L-Arg), and template molecule, MP. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was utilized to evaluate the efficiency of the electrochemical detection of MP under optimal conditions by the proposed sensor. The developed sensor recorded a good performance for detecting MP in the linear range of 5 × 10-9 to 0.1 × 10-4 mol L-1 (R2=0.985) with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.5 × 10-9 mol L-1 and sensitivity of 571 nA/μmolL-1 cm-2. This electrochemical sensing system effectively detects MP in real samples with satisfactory recoveries of 90.4%, 91.9%, 118%, and 96.3% for fresh green beans, strawberry, tomato, and cabbage, respectively
