) undergoes an oxidation reaction with
potassium iodate in acidic condition. The quantity of potas-
sium iodate consumed is then determined iodometrically.
sium iodate consumed is then determined iodometrically.
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is added as a flavoring and
preservative agent to juice-based beverages. This kit is
especially designed for the determination of the content in
Vitamin C of beverages. It is based on drop-count titration
and is practical also with intensively colored samples.
Reducing substances interfere in the determination of Ascor-
bic Acid with this test kit.
