Ascorbic Acid Determination

Determination of Vitamin C (Ascorbic deadly) niggardliness in few of Commercial Products, by Redox Titration Mouhannad AL. -Hachamii Sadiq J. Baqir Saadon A. Aowda Fatima A. Hussein, Dep. of chemistry, college of science, Babylon University Muhammed K. Alasedi Ministry of Health Hilla city, Babylon Abstract The goal of this search is to determine the tightfistedness of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid ) in some of a Commercial Products, Vegetables and take succuss by Redox Titration.A redox titration, involving an Iodometric method, has been used to do the analysis.L-Ascorbic acid was set-back isolated as a pure substance by Albert Azent-Gyorgi and Charles Kingin 1928 Paulling ,1970 , an anti-oxidant and ingenuous radical scavenger, is put up ubiquitously in fruit and vegetables such as citrus fruit fruits ( orangishs, crumbs, limes, tangerines etc. ), melons, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, green leafy vegetables such as spinach, potatoes and turnips, its quantitative aim is espec ially grave in the production of wine, beer, milk, soft throws and fruit succuss, where it stinker be a type indicant Gerrior & Zizza,1994 .Given the essential role vie in the human diet and necessary to growth and resort of tissues in all parts of human body . It is necessary to form collagen an important hide proteins ,scar tissue ,tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones and teeth Mcevoy ,1993 . Since vitamin C is easily changed, storage and homework in air leads to the eventual oxidation of vitamin C by atomic number 8 in the atmosphere.In increment, ascorbic acid is water-solubility vitamin means that a significant issue forth of vitamin C present in a food can be lose by boiling and then discarding the cooking water Mcevoy ,1993. The formula for ascorbic acid is C6H8O6 , It occurs as a white or lissomly yellow vitreous silica or powder with a slight acidic te st , Ascorbic panelling is freely soluble in water sparingly soluble in alcohol insoluble in chloroform, ether, and benzene M rack upat,1986. The structures for the reduced (ascorbic acid) form and for the oxidized form (dehydroascorbic acid) are shown below picThe amount of ascorbic acid can be determined by a redox titration with a standardized upshot of iodine. The iodine is reduced by the ascorbic acid to form iodide. As shown in the other half of this redox equation. pic The titration end point is reached when a slight excess of iodine is added to the ascorbic acid resolvent Bailey ,1974Brody,1994Pauling ,1976Kalluer,1986. Vitamin C deficiency leads to scurvy, a disease characterized by weakness, small hemorrhages throughout the body that cause gums and skin to bleed, and loosening of the teeth. Vitamin C can non synthesized through body cells, nor does it introduce it.It is therefore important to include plenty of vitamin C-containing foods in perfunctory diet. vitamin C toxicity is very rare, because the body can not store the vitamin yet ,amounts greater than 2000 mg/ sidereal day are not recommended because such last doses can lead to stomach up set and diarrhea. The minimum daily requirement is 30 mg. Well-balanced diets provide adequate amounts of the vitamin as metric by the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of about 75 mg per day for adults (aged 15 or older), less for children, and more for pregnant and lactating women.The case Academy of Sciences recommends the consumption of 60 mg of ascorbic acid per day. . the Federal feed and Drug Administration has adopted the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of 60 mg/day A very small daily divine guidance of vitamin C (10-15 mg/day for an adult) is required to avoid deficiency and stave off scurvy. However, there has been, and continues to be, vigorous debate on what the optimum daily wasting disease of vitamin C is. Some have argued that 200 mg/day is an optimal daily intake for adult huma ns.Others have suggested 1-2 g/day is best, this despite studies that show that the blood is satu putd with vitamin C at blow mg/day, and any excess is excreted in the urine RDA,1995 RDA,1987 Browne. ,1993 FAO/WHO,2002 Levine et al. ,1999 Levine et al. ,1995Teoh ,1975.

Experimental Procedure for conclusion of Bailey ,1974 Brody, 1994 Pauling,1976 Kalluer,1986. 1. Preparation of 0. 005 mole L? iodine solution Accurately load two gm of KI and 1. 3g of I2 , dissolved to aless amount of water , excite until dissolving .Transfer iodine solution to a 1L volumetric flask , devising sure to rinse all traces of solution in to the volumetric flask using distilled water , c ompleted the volume up to the mark. 2. Preparation of 0. 5% starch indicator solution Soluble starch (0. 25gm) to a atomic number 6 mL conical flask or beaker and 50 mL of distilled water was added . Solution heated with stirring at 79 0C for 5 legal proceeding , careful must be taken not to exceed the give tongue to temperature. Allow solution to cool to room temperature. 3. Preparation of food/drink sample Industrial Packaged fruit juices Orange , Pineapple, Lemon ,Tmrhend and orchard apple tree (Miso), Pepsi (khaleek kadha), Red grapes(Niktar), Seven up (Kufa), Pomegranate (Linda) , Tmrhend (Toti), Orange (Dalia), and Granules peach (Rani) may also need to be agonistic through cheese material if it contains a lot of treacle or seeds. For analysis of vitamin C powders ( Tanc stinker , Tanc orange and livans powders ) dissolved 1 gm in 100mL of distilled water (in a volumetric flask). For analysis of vitamin C pads ( Kruger and joiure tablets), dissolved a single tablet i n 200 mL of distilled water (in a volumetric flask). Juice squeezed from flip fruit (Diala orange , Hilla orange, Egypt orange ,allalinki ,pomegranate and apple Juices ) should be tug through cheese cloth in order to remove seeds and slop which may block pipettes. Juice squeezed from fresh vegetables ( Tomato , onion ,Celery ,Option ,Potato and Lettuce juices ) should be strained through cheese cloth in order to remove seeds and pulp which may block pipettes. Sample of fruit or vegetable (100gm) intermingle in a food processor together with 50 mL of distilled water. After blending, strain the pulp through cheese cloth, washing it 0mL in a volumetric flask. 4. Aliquot of the sample (20 ml) solution prepared supra transfrred into a 250 mL conical flask , about 150 mL of distilled water and 1 mL of starch indicator solution. 5. Sample were titrated with 0. 005 mol L? 1 iodine solution. The endpoint of the titration is identified as the premier(prenominal) distinct trace of a dark blue-black colour ascribable to the starch-iodine complex. 6.Titration were repeated with further aliquots of sample solution until concordant resolves (titres agreeing within 0. 1 mL) were obtained. Results and discussion- In this research estimating vitamin C in industrial juices (Orange , Pineapple, Lemon, Tmrhend and orchard apple tree (Miso), Pepsi (khaleek kadha), Red grapes (Niktar), Seven up (Kufa), Pomegranate (Linda) , Tmrhend (Toti), Orange (Dalia), fruits (Dalia) and Granules peach (Rani)), Kruger and joiure tablets, and Tanc lemon , Tanc orange and livans powders, and native juices for fresh fruits (Diala orange , Hilla orange, Egypt orange ,mandarin ,pomegranate and apple Juices ) and fresh vegetables ( Tomato , Onion Celery ,cucumber ,Potato and Lettuce juices). It was calibrated using redox representation by iodine calibration using starch as indicator , iodine was an adequate oxidizer used for this purpose.Table (1) show the in industrial juices estimated conce ntration and the harmonize of vitamin C.

Vitamin C content in some industrial juice (mg/100ml) .The result in table (1) and scheme (1) showed the highest concentration of vitamin C in industrial juices found in granules peach juice where concentration is (53. 32) mg / 100 ml and lowest in orange juice (Miso),hitting (11. 49) mg /100 ml ,either powder Limon Tanc, the straw man of vitamin C according to air declared on the product is 100 %,but the results show that we have reached 89. 9 % and its concentration was (3. 33) mg/100 ml, where results appeared supposed to be the load of vitamin C (667) mg of store (45) mg ,results show that this weight (599. 85) mg of origin (45) mg . While orange Tanc powder result of vitamin C amount to 44. 6 % with the amount according to publicize declared as the products of 100 %,where it should the weight of vitamin C (667) mg of origin (45) mg ,results show that this weight (299. 9) mg of origin (45) mg .Vitamin C tablets geek Krueger according to bulletin declared only that all (1) gm contains (45) mg of vitamin C, but the results we obtained the concentration is (69. 95) mg in (1) gm ,an increase of about (25) mg. Either vitamins fruits tablets type junior according to bulletin declared only that all (1) gm contains (8. 8) mg of vitamin C but we have received is (19. 995) mg in (1) gm, an increase of more than double. Where the study showed that the Tmrhend juice (Miso) was vitamin C focus as the results we obtained (25. 7) mg/100 ml ,but according to the bulletin attached descent rate and quality (1. 68) mg/100) ml ,either alimonadah juice (Miso) was its focus as the results we obtained (15. 4)mg/100 ml, but according to the bulletin attached descent rate and quality (0. 1) mg/100 ml. comparing these results with a focus locate on the packaging these juices, showing clearly that there was a rest in the percentage concentrated of company to company, And also because of industrial juices and hurt storage methods. The handling and preparation of food products adversely affect the quality of vitamin C in food. since it vulnerable to heat ,oxygen and acid, temperate and alkalinity mediums.With regards to the manufacture of juices, the keepers invulnerable containers made of sheet metal or glass do no t cause the lose of what remains of vitamin C as a result of manufacturing processes only about 10 % while keeping cardboard containers, whether with paraffin series layer or polyethylene, they lead to the loss of around 75 % of the knightly three weeks, even if keeping it in the fridge because these containers do not prevent the access of oxygen to juice and oxidize it, in addition to the work of the upper-packaged juice or occupied by air to oxidize the proportion of juice again, while the addition of carbon alkalinity of the damage vitamin juice damage entirely. Table (2) shows the estimated in natural juice concentration and the proportion of vitamin C .Table (2) The results were obtained below, represent the vitamin C content in some natural juice in quantity mg / 100 ml . measuring Standard Amount calculated Natural juices name Chain agree to mg / 100 ml international standards mg / 100 mg 42-50 98. 64 Diala orange 1 42-50 107. 1 Hilla orange 2 42-50 73. 3 15 Egypt orange 3 37. 71. 4 Mandarin 4 52. 8 72 63 pomegranate 5 6 51. 5 Apple 6 13. 6 17 20. 6 Tomato 7 50 47. 6 Onion 8 14 22. 1 Celery 9 27 35. 7 Cucumber 10 11 20 47. 6 Potato 11 75 83.
