Determination of vitamin C in different natural juices

Abstract

Three samples of Sudanese natural juices were analysed to determined the concentration of vitamin C in each of them by using redox-titration. The samples were baobab, hibiscus and aerdab . The results showed that the concentration of vitamin C was higher in the Baobab than hibiscus juice and then Aerdab juice. The concentrations of vitamin C were found to be 1.5×〖10〗^(-3) M(5.26418g/l-264.18ppm) , 1.44x10-3m(0.2536g/l- 253.6ppm) and 6.75x10-4M (0.118881g/L- 118.8881ppm).in baobab, hibiscus and aerdab, respectively . Drinking natural juices is strongly recommended because they contain a high level of vitamin C which helps much metabolic processes in the body that enable the continuation of life .taking much vitamin C is equally harmful to health as taking than needed.
