Study Notes
Vitamin C Analysis Methods
- Two main categories of methods for analyzing vitamin C: chemical and physicochemical methods.
Chemical Methods
- The most common chemical method is the Tillmans method, which involves reducing a solution of a specific concentration of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol.
- The change in color indicates the reaction's end point, determining the vitamin C content.
- This method is known for its simplicity and ease of use.
Physicochemical Methods
- Potentiometric Method: A precise method for determining the concentration of L-ascorbic acid.
- HPLC Method: High-performance liquid chromatography, a chromatographic technique used to separate and identify components of a mixture. This method determines the concentration of L-ascorbic acid in a sample.
- Both methods are used for quantitative analysis, which can then be applied in identifying the concentration of vitamin C content or solutions.
