: The Vitamin C Content of Fruit Juices Lecturer : Madam Rita Rohaizah binti Sohari TITLE: THE VITAMIN C CONTENT OF FRUIT JUICES INTRODUCTION Vitamin C which is also known as ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient for human. It is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means a continuous supply of vitamin is needed in daily

Vitamin C Content of Apple Juice Introduction Complete lack of ascorbic acid (a.k.a Vitamin C) in the diets of humans and other primates leads to a classic nutritional disease‚ scurvy. This disease was widespread in Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries‚ but it is rare today. Ascorbic acid is widely distributed in nature‚ but it occurs in extremely high concentrations in citrus and green plants such as green peppers and spinach. Ascorbic acid can be synthesized

Spectrophotometric determination of Ascorbic acid Concentration in an Unknown Solution Introduction: The naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties is Ascorbic acid shortly referred as (AA). Normally the color of Ascorbic acid is white‚ but in some cases of impure samples it appears yellow in color. Ascorbic acid is solid in state. In water it dissolves well to give mildly acidic solutions. Ascorbic acid is one form ("vitamer") of vitamin C [1]. So‚ Ascorbic Acid (AA) in other terminology

Determination of the concentration of vitamin C in fruits/vegetables by using the DCPIP test (2008) Principle : Vitamin C is a strong reducing agent. It can decolorize the blue dye DCPIP. The amount of vitamin C in a food sample can be estimated by the amount of it that is used to decolorize a fixed amount of DCPIP. Apparatus : Test tube‚ clean and dry Test tube rack 5 ml syringe or a good quality squeezing pipette 1 ml pipette

Temperature on Content of Vitamin C Introduction A daily intake of Vitamin C is essential for humans. Without it‚ the disease scurvy develops as sailors‚ explorers and people during the long winters in the Northern hemisphere found before the time of Captain Cook. The British Navy started giving sailors lime juice to prevent scurvy on long voyages in 1795. Vitamin C is found in high levels in foods such as oranges‚ limes‚ lemons‚ blackcurrants‚ parsley and capsicums. Vitamin C is water soluble and is

Alexis Becker Pre-Lab Experiment 7 Avinash Pallagani Investigating Stoichiometry with sodium salts of carbonic acid 4/2/14 A summary of the concepts: The purpose of this lab is to better understand “stoichiometry”. We will be reacting sodium carbonate (NaHCO)3 and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical reaction looks like this: NaHCO3 + HCl = NaCl + H2O + CO2 CAUTION: Be especially

Pre-Lab Work Sheet Which type of compound usually has higher melting points: ionic compounds or covalent compounds? What is the reason for this difference in melting points? (3 points) Ionic compounds have higher melting and boiling points than covalent compounds. The electrostatic attraction in an ionic bond is very strong hence a lot of heat energy is required to break it down‚ ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points. In covalent bonds‚ the intermolecular forces are very weak and

Ammonia and Hydrochloric Acid Lab Chemistry 1 Abstract The straw should be cut shorter to 8 cm in order to make the solid ring appear in the center of the straw. We achieved our goal‚ cutting the straw caused the gases to not have to go as far‚ and meet in the middle. Background The particles in a gas are very loose and tend to move around a lot very quickly. The particles in a solid are very compact and vibrate but don’t really move very much. The particles in a liquid however are more
