TITLE: Determination of Riboflavin by using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. ABSTRACT: The amount of Riboflavin in various brand of children multivitamins was determine by using UV-Vis spectroscopy instrument‚ the series of standard of riboflavin was prepared in order to determine the amount of the riboflavin in the sample of children multivitamins. The maximum amount of riboflavin was found in the Champs multivitamin that contains 0.1155 mg followed by Chewies 0.1131 mg and Scott’s 0.0672 mg. OBJECTIVES:

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)

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

a Standard Curve for the Determination of Protein Concentration 09/13/12 PCB 3023-007 Results Figure1: Standard curve. This graph was constructed from the fixed amounts of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). Varying amounts of BSA at a concentration of .5µ/µl were mixed with the water and 1mL of coomassie dye. The equation y=0.0259x +0.0511 represents the best fit line for a data set taken from µg of protein equals two to ten µg. Optical density (OD) was surveyed using a Mach V visual spectrophotometer

and breads are also good sources of iron. Even cooking foods in iron pans and pots could increase amount of iron in our diet. Another useful fact is that our body tends to absorb iron better when iron from plant sources eaten with foods rich in vitamin C. According to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)‚ the need of intakes of iron varies and depends on ones age and gender. For instance‚ average men in age of 19 to 50 need 8 mg of iron per day which is less than average women age 19 to 50

Rick & Rosalinda Puetter—Personal vitamin/supplement use and practice‚ 6 February 2000. Vitamins‚ Supplements & Their Uses I. Introduction Our interest in vitamins‚ dietary supplements‚ and nutritional biochemistry began in 1994. I in particular was a severe skeptic about supplements in general‚ and thought everything one’s body needed could be supplied from a “healthy diet”. This‚ of course‚ is true to some degree. Healthy diets allow one to live a long and pleasant life. This does not mean

Vitamins In the early 20th century the discovery of vitamins began. Today there is a chance that there are some vitamins that are still undiscovered. The definition of vitamin is: one of several substances necessary for animal nutrition‚ and occurring in minute quantities in natural foods; numerous types have been distinguished‚ and designated by the letters of the alphabet. Each and every living animal needs vitamins to grow and be healthy. Since the human body can t produce

determine whether the hypothesis that caffeine increases the heart rate of Daphnia‚ was true or false or whether caffeine decreased the heart rate of Daphnia. To determine this you need to test this hypothesis practically; in order to do this you have to make up a range of caffeine solutions of different concentrations; this is the independent variable – the thing that you change during the investigation. You also need a control variable‚ which would be a solution which has no caffeine in at all‚ to compare
