Estimation of Ascorbic Acid in Orange Juice by a Chronometric Method

چکیده
The redox couple between ascorbic acid (vitamin C) oxidation and reduction of the semiquinoid form of p-phenylenediamine (PPDA) is the basis of a new chronometric assay of vitamin C. Commercial horseradish peroxidase or citrus peroxidase isolated from seeds catalyzes the hydroperoxidation of PPDA through a re versible semiquinoid form to a colored condensa tion product. Ascorbic acid interrupts formation of the colored product by coupling its oxidation to reduction of the semiquinoid. After all the ascor bic acid is oxidized, oxidation of the semiquinoid proceeds to the dye form. By using a standard peroxidase preparation, ascorbic acid content of orange juice was shown to be inversely propor tional to the time lag from initiation of the re action to first appearance of colored product. A rapid "yes-no" method for testing juices for label ing compliance and a simple method for quantitating ascorbic acid levels in citrus juices were de

Determination of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) in Orange Juices Product
This research describes a voltammetric approach to determine amounts of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) in orange juice sample, using three screen printed electrode. The anodic currents of vitamin C were proportional to vitamin C concentration in the range of 0 – 10.0 mM with the limit of detection of 1.36 mM. The method was successfully employed with 2 μL of the working solution dropped on the elect...
متن کاملStorage Stability of Orange Juice Concentrate Packaged Aseptically
Orange juice concentrates were packaged aseptically by a “Dole” aseptic canning machine using 6 oz metal cans. The final juice products (ll”, 34’, 44’, 58” Brix) were stored between -18” and 36°C and tested periodically for nonenzymatic browning, ascorbic acid destruction, furfural and sensory changes. Nonenzymatic browning, the main deterioration phenomena in these products, was satisfactorily...
متن کاملStability and sensory shelf life of orange juice pasteurized by continuous ohmic heating.
Electrical heating of food products provides rapid and uniform heating, resulting in less thermal damage to the product. The objective of this research was to examine the effects of ohmic heating on the stability of orange juice with comparison to conventional pasteurization. During storage at 4 degrees C, degradation curves of ascorbic acid followed a linear decrease pattern in both ohmic-heat...
متن کاملThe Effect of Rootstocks on the Sugars, Acids, Carotenoids, Chlorophylls and Ethylene of Clementine Mandarin (Citrus clementina)
Investigations have demonstrated that ratio of sugars to organic acids affects the particular taste of citrus fruit and carotenoids are essential for prevent of the disease. It seems that some rootstocks enhance the ripening of fruits and stimulatethe biosynthesis of sugars and carotenoids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on sugars, organic acids andcarotenoids o...
متن کاملAscorbic Acid Determination in Commercial Fruit Juice Samples by Cyclic Voltammetry
A method was developed for assessing ascorbic acid concentration in commercial fruit juice by cyclic voltammetry. The anodic oxidation peak for ascorbic acid occurs at about 490 mV on a Pt disc working electrode (versus SCE). The influence of the potential sweep speed on the peak height was studied. The obtained calibration graph shows a linear dependence between peak height and ascorbic acid c...
