tamin C‚ ascorbic acid‚ is one of the most important vitamins found in citrus juices‚ including orange juice. Often projects find that orange juices made from frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) have the highest vitamin C levels as compared to freshly squeezed or not-from-concentrate (NFC) juices. This is probably due to the fact that vitamin C degrades over time in fresh and NFC‚ but doesn’t degrade as much in FCOJ due to it being frozen until reconstitution. If one is comparing a NFC product

Investigating the Effect of Caffeine on the Heart Rate of Daphnia Daphnia are extremely small aquatic invertebrates. They are transparent‚ so you are able to see their internal organs; this means it is easy to monitor their heart rate by observing them through a microscope [1]. Physiological results from caffeine consumption include the stimulation of heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ metabolism‚ body temperature and alertness. [2] In this practical investigation the aim was to determine whether the hypothesis

Aim This experiment is to determine the vitamin C content in different brands of processed fruit juices. Hence‚ compare the vitamin C content in the experimental results with the manufacturer’s claim and to find out the best buy. Principle Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a reducing agent‚ the vitamin C content of processed fruit juices can be determined by oxidizing ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6 to dehydro-L-ascorbic acid‚ C6H6O6. A reagent that is particularly good for the oxidation is an aqueous solution

Investigating Vitamin C Background Vitamin C is found in green vegetables‚ fruits‚ and potatoes. It is essential for a healthy diet. The chemical name for vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is a good reducing agent and therefore it is easily oxidised. Methods for the detection of vitamin C involve titrating it against a solution of an oxidising agent. Where to start There are several oxidising agents that can be used and a commonly used one is 2‚6-dichlorophenol-indophenol or DCPIP

IB Biology Lab – Vitamin C content of food Aim: To compare the vitamin C content of different fruits using the decolourisation of DCPIP from blue to clear as the indicator. • You first need to estimate the volume of a known concentration of vitamin C solution required to decolourise 2 cm3 of DCPIP solution. • Then you need to determine the volume of fruit juice that decolourises 2 cm3 of DCPIP solution. This gives an estimate of the concentration of vitamin C in fruit juice. • This

Investigating the vitamin C content of fruits and fruit juice Aim: In this investigation‚ I aim to measure and compare whether there is a higher content of vitamin C in a fruit or a juice by measuring the volume of the sample required to decolourise a solution of dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP). Introduction: For this experiment‚ I aim to investigate and compare the content of vitamin C in the fruit against the fruit juice. The theory of this method is a titration with dichlorophenolindophenol

Lab Report: MEASUREMENT OF VITAMIN C Introduction Nutritional diseases were once the number one cause of death only a century ago‚ but rarely affect our lives today. The complete lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) characterized by dark purple spots on the skin and rotting gums‚ a disease called scurvy‚ took the lives of many sailors up until the mid 1800s when the prevention was discovered. Consequently‚ British sailors became referred to as ‘limeys’ because of their daily habit of eating

al.‚ 2006) What is vitamin C ? Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid or L-ascorbate is an essential nutrient for humans and certain other animal species. (Sebastian J. et.al.‚ 2003) Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development. It aids in collagen production and reduces fine lines & wrinkles. Collagen loss and disorganisation is part of the process of ageing‚ leading to skin sagging and wrinkle formation. On the other hands‚ vitamin C may include protection
