Determination of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Its Compounds
28 Mar 2014Ascorbic acid is found in many food products, either as natural vitamin C or as antioxidant. One simple and easy way to determine it is titration. This application bulletin presents potentiometric and photometric determination of ascorbic acid using 2,6-dichloroindophenol, as well as iodometric and polarographic approaches.

TitrationTitration is an analytical technique for determining substance concentration in a solution. For titration consider a manual or automated system, volumetric or coulometric reagent addition and indication by a potentiometer, spectrometer, turbidometer or by the Karl Fischer method. Other features of titration to consider include burettes, reagents, concentration range, reaction time and autosamplers.Food TestingFood testing refers to a variety experiments including PCR, mass spectrometry, processing, QuEChERS, analyzing and Kjeldahl.Vitamin C
