Question

A processed lemon juice is stored at 4 oC and 10 oC in order to compare storage stability. For ascorbic acid degradation, rate constant (day-1) can be expressed as k=A.e-25000/RT. If the ascorbic acid degradation rate constant is 2.587x10-3 day-1 at 5 oC;

  • Calculate ascorbic acid degradation rate constants at 4 and 10 oC,
  • Determine ascorbic acid degradation order and derive shelf-life equation for degradation order,
  • Calculate shelf-life values of ascorbic acid at 4 and 10 oC and compare those
