Study Notes
Vitamin C Analysis Methods
- Methods for determining vitamin C include chemical and electrochemical methods
-
Chemical methods - Primarily use the Tillmans method or its modifications.
- The Tillmans method reduces a solution of a specific colorant due to reaction with vitamin C
- The color change indicates completion of the reaction.
- A specific concentration of a chemical reagent (2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol) in a solution is required .
-
Electrochemical methods - Generally more accurate.
- Potentiometric method - Can be used for accurate quantification of vitamin C
- HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) method - can be combined with a colorimetric or UV detector for greater accuracy -This method uses a column with a specific stationary phase and a mobile phase to separate different components of the sample, followed by the detection of the separated components.
- HPLC is often preferred for analysis of vitamin C because of its accuracy and speed.
