Background information DCPIP is an enzyme-catalyzed oxidation electron acceptor that is pink in its oxidized form. In normal condition‚ DCPIP is blue dyed. When DCPIP is added into vitamin C solution‚ the vitamin C reduces the dye

Vitamin c in fruit juice using dcpip titration Preparing the standard ascorbic acid solution 1. Weigh out accurately about 0.2 g ascorbic acid and make up to 1 L with distilled water. 2. Calculate the concentration of the ascorbic acid solution: C = n/V = m/M/V. Sample calculation: mass of ascorbic acid = 0.205 g C (ascorbic acid) = 0.205/176.12/1.00 = 0.00116 M Preparing the DCPIP solution Weigh out accurately approximately 0.24 g DCPIP (Mr = 268.1g/mol) and make up to 1 L with

reversible. Vitamin C is a good reducing agent and therefore it is easily oxidised. Vitamin C can be detected by titrating it against a solution of an oxidizing agent. A common type of oxidizing agent that is used to test for presence of Vitamin C is DCPIP solution.

juice needed to decolourise 1cm3 Of 1% DCPIP solution. DCPIP solution can be used to measure the amount of vitamin C in each juice as an antioxidant (like vitamin c) reduces the blue dye‚ DCPIP changing it from blur to colourless. Method 1) Pipette 1cm3 Of 1% DCPIP solution into a test tube 2) Fill a burette with the 1% vitamin C solution and position it above the test tube with DCPIP‚ allowing the vitamin C solution to decolourise the blue DCPIP drop by drop‚ shaking the test tube gently

Title : The Vitamin C content of fruit juice Aim : To investigate the vitamin C content of fruit juice. Introduction : [2]Vitamin C‚ also known as the ascorbic acid or the L-ascorbate‚ is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of our body. It is necessary to form collagen‚ an important protein used to make skin‚ scar tissue‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds as well as for the repair and maintenance of cartilage‚ bones

To investigate the vitamin C content of fruit juice.Hypothesis: I believe the more drops of fruit juice taken to decolourise DCPIP‚ the smaller the amount of vitamin C in that fruit juice. This is because DCPIP needed to be decolourised by ascorbic acid in fruit juice‚ so less concentration of ascorbic acids means that more ascorbic acids is needed to decolourised DCPIP. I believe that freshly squeezed orange is going to have the most Vitamin C content because the fruit itself had a higher average

vitamin c levels claimed by manufacturers are actually present in the drinks‚ this will be done by experimenting various drinks using blue DCPIP solution. The quantity of vitamin C in food and drink can be determined using a simple colour test. Vitamin C decolourises the blue dye DCPIP (dichlorophenolindolphenol). Vitamin C is an antioxidant and reduces the DCPIP. DCPIP changes from blue to colourless (or slightly pink) as it becomes reduced. Hypothesis: Is High vitamin C all it claims to be?

growth and development. * the cooking process of green pepper will decrease the concentration of VC(ELABORATE) * Vitamin C is a reducing agent and can reduce DCPIP solution (a blue dye) to a colourless compound. The vitamin C content of the juices is measured by the amount of orange juice required to decolourize a fixed volume of DCPIP. The relative amount of vitamin C content of the juices is determined in this investigation. Independent variable | Dependent variable | Controlled variable
