ABSTRACT We have previously suggested that the failure of the androgen-sterilized, persistent-oestrous rat to ovulate, following electrical stimulation of the median eminence structures of the hypothalamus, is due to an insufficiency in adenohypophyseal LH concentration. Using the ovarian ascorbic acid technique for quantitative determination of pituitary LH content, the present studies have demonstrated that the sterile rat pituitary gland contains one-third the LH content of the normal prooestrous gland. Furthermore, not only does progesterone priming of this persistent-oestrous rat result in a 75 % increase in LH concentration, but on hypothalamic stimulation sufficient LH is released to induce ovulation. The decrease in LH concentration which accompanies ovulation in the progesterone-primed, sterile rat is approximately 45 % of the total gland content as compared with a 51 % decrease in pituitary content in the normal cyclic rat.

AbstractThe objective of the present work was to adapt the Prussian Blue reaction for the determination of ascorbic acid. The procedure was successfully applied for the determination of ascorbic acid in red and white grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) just previous ingathering. In the present work was used the red and white grapes from Murfatlar vineyard: Mamaia, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Muscat Ottonel and Riesling Italian. The results were situated in the range of 0.67 - 1.79 mg vitamin C/100g product for red grapes and respectively 0.50 - 1.49 mg vitamin C/100g for white grapes.

This research was aimed at investigating the concentration of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) in some commercial fruits juices: ‘5’ Alive, Hollandia yoghurt, Nutri milk, Ribena, Lacasera, Happy hour, Viju milk, Chi exotic and Chi vita sold in Ugbokolo, Benue State, Nigeria by titrimetric method using 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP) as titrant. The ascorbic acid (AA) content in milligram per 100ml of the various juices investigated is in the order: ‘5’ Alive (11.25) > Ribena (5.47) > nutri milk (5.31) > Happy hour (4.38) > Hollandia yoghurt (1.25) > Lacasera (0.47) ≈ Chi exotic (0.47) >Viju milk (0.31) > Chi vita (0.16). It was observed that half a litre of ‘5’ Alive (56.25 mg AA) a day is suitable for adults and pregnant women, a liter each of Ribena  (54.70 mg AA) and Nutri milk (53.10 mg AA) per day for adults, while a litre of Happy hour (43.80 mg AA) per day is suitable for adolescents. It can be concluded that commercial fruits juices when taken in large amount will add to the daily human dietary intake of the vitamin.

Abstract A procedure is described for the examination of large numbers of ground beef samples for the 4 most commonly used preservatives. A single sample solution is prepared and aliquots are taken for the various tests. Sulfite is determined colorimetrically with acid-bleached p-rosaniline. Ascorbic acid is titrated with 2,6-dichloroindophenol. Benzoic and sorbic acids are measured by ultraviolet absorption. Negative samples are rapidly sorted out in this procedure and positive samples are completed for quantitative determination of the preservative. Recoveries are 95% for sodium sulfite, 103% for sodium benzoate, 90% for potassium sorbate, and 81 % expected recovery for sodium ascorbate. The limit of detection is 0.005% for potassium sorbate, and 0.01% for the 3 other preservatives.
