How can you measure how much VC is in a juice?

Hi Jasmine!
This is a very intereting science fair project! What are you planning to test? There are two sciencebuddies projects, which measure vitamin C content as part of the project. They are found in the chemistry section (toward the bottom, they oth have Vitamin C in the title).

I'm including the link for the entire section, since you asked three unrelated questions on this forum, I 'm guessing you hven't finalized your project idea and there may be something else on this page that interests you.

Remember:we help with the science fair project; we don't do your research for you or your homework. If you had done aninternet search on "measuring vitamin c" you would have found several procedures immediately.

Good luck!

As Louise mentioned, a quick Google search returns many procedures for determining the amount of Vitamin C in a juice. I put in "vitamin c titration" and get thousands of results. Take a look at the various results you get and see which best meet your needs.

As you evaluate the protocols, make sure to check that the site is reputable. For instance, a website sponsored by a college or university (these usually end in .edu) will probably have a more reliable protocol than Joe Schmoe's home page.

If you have any questions about terms and things you read in the protocols, try looking them up in your science book or on Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org). (Quick Note: Wikipedia is not a good source to cite in a paper, but it can be useful as general background information.)

Talk to your teacher about what protocol would work best given the equipment you have available. Let us know if you have any questions after doing a bit of your own research!
