Determination of L-Ascorbic Acid in Tomato by Capillary Electrophoresis
نویسنده
چکیده
In an undergraduate bioanalytical instrumental lab, students use capillary electrophoresis to quantify L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in food samples. The students are tasked to prepare standards, to obtain the calibration curves, and to determine the quantity of L-ascorbic acid in tomato samples (Lycopersicon fruit). A discussion about the function of each component of a capillary electrophoresis instrument, the effect of experimental variables, and the use of different calibration strategies is also given. The experiment has been tested during four courses, showing that lab-activities helped students learn this instrumental technique.

Separation/determination of flavonoids and ascorbic acid in rat serum and excrement by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection.
A capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of three flavonoids (naringenin, rutin, quercetin) and ascorbic acid. It was found that naringenin, rutin, quercetin and ascorbic acid were well separated within 5 min in borate buffer solution (pH 8.6, 24 mM). The detection limit was 1.0 microM for naringenin, 8.0 microM for rutin, 2.0 m...

A simultaneous determination with UV detection/capillary electrophoresis for Fe(II) and Fe(III) was achieved using a sulfonated bathophenantholine and desfferioxamine B. When the electrophoretic buffer was 60 mmol l(-1) SDS, 10 mmol l(-1) acetic acid (pH 4.0) and 10 mmol l(-1) ascorbic acid and at -10 kV, the iron(II) and iron(III) could not only be completely separated, but also be sensitively...
متن کاملDetermination of flavonoids and ascorbic acid in grapefruit peel and juice by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection
Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Mact. (Rutaceae)) has been known for its accumulation of flavonoids and ascorbic acid. These contents are important because of their nutritional and antioxidant properties. Five flavonoids (hesperidin, naringin, hesperedin, narigenin and rutin) and ascorbic acid were separated and determined in grapefruit juice by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemistry detec...

A very simple, easy and sensitive spectrophotometric manual determination method of phosphorus for the P04(3-) ion, based on the formation of the reduced 12-molybdophosphate complex, was developed. The effect of the kind of water-miscible organic solvent and the concentration of organic solvent, ascorbic acid and HCl on the formation of the complex was investigated. The optimum determination co...
