Analysis for Vitamin C Introduction Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid C6H8O6, is important because the body uses it in order to grow and repair tissues.1 Humans are unable synthesize vitamin C, therefore it is essential to consume the recommended daily amount around 60 mg/day.2 The goals of this lab were to determine the amount of vitamin C in a sample of apple juice. Also, another objective was to gain experience with redox reactions and titrations. “A titration is a method of analysis

few species that are unable to make vitamin C, making vitamin C an essential micronutrient. The location site for the absorption of vitamin C happens in the small intestine and absorbs 50 percent or less of vitamin C when the intake is one gram or more a day (Schiff 294). Taking large amounts of vitamin C can be wasteful because as the intake of vitamin C increases the amount absorbed by the small intestine decreases (Schiff 294). Good sources of vitamin C are found in plant foods. Some of these foods

Vitamin C Lab Date of Experiment: September 19, 2014 Danielle Butler; Semhal Selamawi; Emma Adomako Lab Section 12 Date of Submission: October 3, 2014   INTRODUCTION A vitamin so named in 1913 by political biochemist C. Funk is defined to be any of a number if unrelated, complex organic substances found variously in most foods, or sometimes synthesized in the body, and essential, in small amounts for the regulation of the metabolism and normal growth and functioning of the body. (Webster’ s New

Vitamin C Investigation Aim: I want to find out whether the concentration of Vitamin C in Golden Circle Pineapple juice changes over time. Hypothesis: My hypothesis for this investigation will argue that the Vitamin C level in Golden Circle Pineapple juice will decrease over time. Chemical information and safety surrounding the use of these substances. Previous scientific work: CHEEKY NANDOS Vitamin C: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin, which is needed by the body to

It has been observed that drug users are at great threat for HCV infections. HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) is more easily spread than HIV (Human Immunodefiency Virus), because its prevalence is greater than HIV. According to Macias et.al (2008), it has been observed that non-injection drug users have higher rates of hepatitis C infection in comparison to overall population. They attributed this to following reasons; sexual behaviors, tattoo or piercing materials, nail or hair clippers, and razors. Some

C. Scurvy Scurvy is less likely differential diagnosis that may be associated with the signs and symptoms of this patient. Scurvy is associated with a state of dietary deficiency of vitamin C. Although it is uncommon, it still occurs and can affect children who have chronic dietary vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C is relevant for the triple-helix formation of collagen; a vitamin C deficiency results in impaired collagen synthesis, which typically typical manifest by poor wound healing that is noted

hepatitis is the most common form of infectious hepatitis. There are five distinct viruses—types A, B, C, D, and E. Diagnostic markers of viral hepatitis include elevation of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gammaglutamyl transferase, white blood cell count, and prothrombin time. Hepatitis C is an infectious disease that primarily affects the liver, caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). The cause of HCV, is a spherical, enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae

What is Hepatitis C? Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection causes chronic liver. Over time, infections can lead to liver damage, liver cancer, and even liver failure. HCV is a blood-borne virus. This means that it spreads to a person through contact with the infected blood to another person. The most common method is promoting HCV using contaminated needles and other equipment for use in the field of medicine. Sharing can come into contact with the blood in private items such as razors or toothbrushes

OBJECTIVE  To investigate the vitamin C content of different fruit juices.  To identify which fruit juices has higher vitamin C content and the lowest vitamin C content.  To determine the standard curve of vitamin C based on percentage of vitamin C.  To differentiate between fresh juices and carton juices.  To consider the reliability and validity of the results. PROBLEM STATEMENT Which type of fruit juices has the most vitamin C content? HYPOTHESIS  The smaller the amount of the fruit juices

Vitamin C is an essential in the body's defenses against infection. Susceptible children will not tolerate relatively unimportant infections and this can lead to prolonged illness and in the case of behaviorally disturbed children of symptoms previously well managed. Vitamin C is an extremely safe substance which is immensely beneficial to the brain and body in a multitude of ways. Its potential for preventing and treating autism has barely been touched. Vitamin C is heavily concentrated in the brain
