differences of percentage of vitamin C (ascorbic acid ) between the fresh orange juice and artificial orange juice (Sunkist). Problem statement : Does have different types of fruit juice contain similar amount of vitamin c ? Objevtive: To analyse the concentration and percentage of different food sample by using titration method and state whether the percentage and concentration of vitamin C. Methodology: Theory : DCPIP can also be used as an indicator for Vitamin C. If vitamin C‚ which is a good reducing

person needs a daily intake of Vitamin C to stay healthy; therefore‚ one should be aware of what fruits he/she should ingest daily or more days to obtain stronger stamina and the abundance of antioxidants in the body to reverse oxidation. Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is essential for normal growth of humans and it helps in the repair and reconstruction of body tissues lost over time. It is an antioxidant that blocks the damage caused by free radicals. People who take Vitamin C daily tend to build up a

Vitamin C –A Natural Antioxidant Concept: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an antioxidant. The amount of vitamin C content in food can be found out by titrating with an oxidising agent‚ e.g. iodine. In the reaction‚ vitamin C is oxidised‚ while iodine is reduced to iodide ions. The endpoint is determined by the formation of blue-black starch-iodine complex when all vitamin C is oxidised and excess iodine is free to react with the starch solution added as indicator. Introduction Vitamin C is an

Lab Report: MEASUREMENT OF VITAMIN C Introduction Nutritional diseases were once the number one cause of death only a century ago‚ but rarely affect our lives today. The complete lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) characterized by dark purple spots on the skin and rotting gums‚ a disease called scurvy‚ took the lives of many sailors up until the mid 1800s when the prevention was discovered. Consequently‚ British sailors became referred to as ‘limeys’ because of their daily habit of eating

: Analysis of commercial vitamin C tablet Title: Determination of the vitamin C content (ascorbic acid) of a commercial vitamin C tablet and compare the result with the value specified by the manufacturer. Theory : In this experiment‚ we have to determine the vitamin C content of a commercial vitamin C tablet which is the mass of ascorbic acid in the tablet. As iodine is a weak oxidizing agent used mainly for the determination of strong reducing agents‚ ascorbic acid C6H8O6 (aq) can be rapidly

Determination of Vitamin C by an Iodometric Titration Purpose: The goal of this lab is to determine the concentration of vitamin C in juices and Real Lemon. A redox titration‚ involving an iodometric method‚ will be used to do the analysis. The samples will be classified by their Vitamin C content. Introduction: Although most mammals can synthesize vitamin C‚ or ascorbic acid (C6H8O6)‚ from sugars‚ man must ingest considerable quantities of this substance. The National Academy of Sciences recommends

Vitamin C Introduction: The lab consists in determining the vitamin C concentration in a solution by a redox titration using iodine. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble‚ essential oxidant that plays a vital role in the protection of the body from infections and disease it is acquired from primary fruits and vegetables. With the use of different materials as natural orange juice‚ Tampico (chemical orange juice) and other solutions that contain vitamin C we will find the amount of vitamin
