Measuring the Vitamin C content in a variety of fruit juices Background Information Vitamin C‚ also called ascorbic acid‚ is a water soluble vitamin. It is a powerful reducing agent that is able to decolourise blue DCPIP (2.6-dichlorophenol indophenols). The decolourisation of DCPIP can therefore be used to calculate the vitamin C content of a variety of fruit juices. Research Question – To determine how the content of Vitamin C (%) will differ in fresh fruits (orange‚ mango‚ lemon‚ lime‚ blackcurrant

is an adage that can apply to vitamins. The body needs vitamins to function properly‚ but high doses of certain vitamins can be toxic‚ especially fat soluble vitamins that the body stores for long periods of time. Water Soluble Vitamins Water-soluble vitamin toxicity is rare because the body does not store water-soluble vitamins and excess amounts are usually excreted in urine. Side effects associated with water-soluble vitamins occur due to intake of extremely high doses. Peripheral neuropathy

THE VITAMIN C CONTENT OF FRUIT JUICE Aim: 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

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

How is Vitamin C manufactured? Ascorbic Acid Also known as: l-ascorbic acid‚ vitamin C‚ ascorbate A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets‚ and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form‚ vitamin C‚ functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways.

RICKETS For Scientific Principles and Health and Disease By: Mackenzie Gray 112-69-7540 April 7‚ 2010 Rickets is a disease that deals with a deficiency with Vitamin D. Vitamin D is important by controlling calcium and phosphate levels. If the blood levels of these minerals become too low‚ the body may produce hormones that cause calcium and phosphate to be released from the bones eventually this leads to weak and soft bones.

Acid Determination of Vitamin C Tablets and Salt Solutions Chem 1290-016 03-05-2010 ------------------------------------------------- Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to use acid-base titrations to find the mass percent of ascorbic acid in a Vitamin C tablet. A known concentration of sodium hydroxide was used and the value found was compared to the stated amount of ascorbic acid listed on the vitamin container. Also in this lab the acidity of different salt solutions were tested using
