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

Investigating the vitamin C content of fruit juices Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble nutrient which is found in certain foods. It acts as an antioxidant (inhibits oxidation) in the body‚ helping to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. The body requires vitamin C in order to make collagen‚ a protein essential to help wounds heal. Vitamin C also improves the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and helps the immune system work properly to protect the body from disease

Practical 4 Determination Of Fruit Firmness Introduction The development of sensors to measure fruit internal quality variable is one of the challenges of post – harvest technology. Several variables can currently be measured‚ including sugar content‚ firmness and internal disorders. Fruit quality is related to both internal variables (firmness‚ sugar content‚ acid content and internal effect) and external variables (shape‚ size‚ external defects and damage). Increasing consumer demand for high

What type of fruit juice provides the most vitamin C? In my investigation I plan to find out how much vitamin C there is in orange juice‚ pineapple juice and tropical juice and then compare my results to find out which juice has the most vitamin C. The independent variable is the type of juice and the dependant variable is the volume of fruit 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
