DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN C CONTENT IN COMMERCIAL (CENOVIS) TABLET ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ the vitamin C content of a commercial tablet is determined and compared with the manufacturers’ specification. Vitamin C is water-soluble and is an enantiomer of ascorbic acid. (Commercial vitamin C is often a mixture of ascorbic acid and other ascorbates.) Ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6‚ is a reducing agent that reacts rapidly with iodine (I2). As the iodine is added during the titration‚ the ascorbic acid is

Analysis of commercial vitamin C tablets Objective To determine the vitamin C content in commercial vitamin C tablets by titration between vitamin C (ascorbic acid) & iodine solution. Hence‚ compare this data with the manufacturer ’s specification. Principle In this analysis‚ certain amount of iodine solution‚ which is known in excess‚ is added to acidified ascorbic acid solution. Brown iodine can be easily reduced by acidified ascorbic acid to form colourless iodide ion:

CHAPTER 4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Percentage yield Fresh leaves of C. nardus with 1 kg portion yielded about 22.57g of aqueous crude extract‚ which was approximately about 2.26% of yield. The result showed that fresh leaves had a higher percentage yield compared to the air-dried leaves‚ it was only 1.3% yield which conducted by Koba et al. (2009) with the similar extraction technique. There were other factors that might affect the percentage yield‚ such as influence of the harvest place

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

The Effect of Vitamin C on Plant Growth Aim: To determine the effect of salt/ sugar/ caffeine/ vitamin C on seed germination. Hypothesis: The plant will grow slowly or die due to the Vitamin C. Equipment: * 2 cups * 2 measuring cups * Water * Vitamin C/ orange Juice * Soil * 4 seed (2 for each cup) * A ruler Method: 1. Pour ¾ of soil into each cup 2. Plant 2 seeds into each cup. Put it about half way down the soil 3. Mix 1mL of orange juice with 5mL

EXPERIMENT TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF A FACTOR AFFECTING VITAMIN C IN FRUIT JUICES WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON VITAMIN C IN FRUIT JUICES? The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the difference in temperature will damage vitamin C in any type of fruit juices. Five different temperatures of fruit juices will be used(5‚ 22‚ 50‚ 70‚ 90) degree Celsius to see how temperature affects the loss of vitamin C in fruit juices. The amount of vitamin C in the fruit juices will then be recorded to see
