al.‚ 2006) What is vitamin C ? Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid or L-ascorbate is an essential nutrient for humans and certain other animal species. (Sebastian J. et.al.‚ 2003) Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development. It aids in collagen production and reduces fine lines & wrinkles. Collagen loss and disorganisation is part of the process of ageing‚ leading to skin sagging and wrinkle formation. On the other hands‚ vitamin C may include protection

positive relationship between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction. This means when catalase concentration increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases. In other words‚ at 20% catalase concentration‚ the rate of reaction was only 4.220 mm/s while at 100% catalase concentration‚ the rate of reaction was 7.704 mm/s. This proves the positive correlation between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction. This occurs because as the enzyme concentration increases‚ there are more enzymes available

three different Substrate Concentrations (3%‚ 1% and 0.3%) as which one was the fastest to react‚ I hypothesized that the reaction would occur the fastest with the 3% hydrogen peroxide (the highest amount of concentration) because the higher the concentration the more faster the reaction occurs and helps produce or break up the enzyme. After testing all three of my substrate concentrations with 10 trials each‚ my data showed (first graph) that the 3% substrate concentration had the fastest average

Practical Task: To compare the concentration of vitamin C in different brands of orange juice. Juice sample provided: 0.1% vitamin C solution‚ fresh orange juice‚ You C 1000 orange water. Aim of investigation: To compare and verify the amount of vitamin C in Mr. Juicy and You C 1000 orange juice. Introduction: Problem: To compare the concentration of vitamin C Hypothesis: Concentration of vitamin C in Mr. Juicy is about 0.02 % Concentration of vitamin C in You C 1000 orange water is about

Affect of enzyme concentration to the rate of reaction Aim: With the experiment of protein solution‚ in this case egg white added to different pepsin concentrations (0%‚ 0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%) shows‚ as the egg white is a protein and the pepsin works as an enzyme‚ how a higher pepsin concentration and therefore a larger amount of enzymes effect the rate of reaction. Hypothesis: An increased concentration of pepsin speeds up the time the mixture needs to come clear. Introduction:

Acid Determination of Vitamin C Tablets and Salt Solutions Chem 1290-016 03-05-2010 ------------------------------------------------- Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to use acid-base titrations to find the mass percent of ascorbic acid in a Vitamin C tablet. A known concentration of sodium hydroxide was used and the value found was compared to the stated amount of ascorbic acid listed on the vitamin container. Also in this lab the acidity of different salt solutions were tested using

Concentration of liquid foods is a fundamental operation in many food processes; it is completely different from dehydration. Usually‚ foods‚ which are concentrated‚ remain in the liquid state; while drying produces solid or semisolid foods with significantly lower water content. The concentration of liquid foods has three different methods; evaporation‚ membrane concentration‚ and freeze concentration. Evaporation usages gas liquid phase separation. It has the lowest capital cost and the maximum

Abstract Vitamin C‚ also known as ascorbic acid‚ is a water soluble vitamin that is regarded as one of the safest and most effective nutrients. Vitamin C can be found in most fruits and vegetables. The goal of the experiment is to find out the concentration of vitamin C in three citrus fruits‚ orange‚ lemon and lime‚ and to compare them and find out which fruit contains the highest concentration of Vitamin C. By using the juice from each fruit to make a solution to combine with 10cm³ of DCPIP until
