Description
Summary:Vitamin C possesses a number of health benefits such as boosting the immune system and preventing the cold, blood level of vitamin C is inversely related to disease parameter such as risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease (Clemens and Toth, 2016). The vitamin C content was determined by classical method of analysis involving volumetric method based on iodimetry (Redox reaction) in which samples (strawberry juices) were titrated with standard iodine solution using starch as an indicator and ascorbic acid was oxidized into dehydroascorbic acid and iodine was reduced into iodide ion following Silva et al., 1999. [...]it had been proved that fresh fruits and their fresh juices contain more vitamin C content as compared to stored fruits.
