Vitamin C is needed by human body to improve the immune system and can be obtained from the bell pepper. Bell pepper has a different color according to the level of maturity, ranging from green, yellow, orange, and red. Differences in color also make possible differences in vitamin C content. The purpose of this study was to determine vitamin C levels in various colors of bell fruit. Measurement of vitamin C was done by titration method with metaphosphoric acid as the solvent and 2,6 dichloroindophenol as the standardized solution. The samples used were green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and red bell pepper taken from Gundaling, Berastagi, Karo, Sumatera Utara, 22152, Indonesia. The results show that vitamin C level in various colors of bell pepper respectively, for green bell pepper 16.52 mg vitamin C per 100 g green bell pepper; yellow bell pepper 159.61 vitamin C per 100 g yellow bell pepper; orange bell pepper 121.38 vitamin C per 100g orange bell pepper; red bell pepper 81.19 vitamin C per 100 g red bell pepper. These results indicate that different levels of bell pepper maturity have different vitamin C content.

Abstract A portable rapid and accurate micro method is described for the quantitative determination of vitamin C in fruit and vegetable juices. Chromatographic paper is impregnated with DCP by immersion in 95% ethanol solution and sprayed with a protective starch solution. Papers are usable indefinitely when protected from moisture, light, air, and high temperatures. Determinations can be completed in 60 s with an accuracy of ±2.0 mg/100 mL fruit or vegetable juice. Cloudy or lightly colored samples do not interfere with the determination. The method was compared with the official AOAC 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCP) titration method and gave a linear correlation coefficient of 0.99749.

People’S Perception

Common cold or salesma is a common disease that easily found anywhere to anybody, effective method needed in discovery process that was expected can be improved by Vitamin C intake. Despite, people’s perception nowadays, presume that Vitamin C doesn’t have effect for curing and preventing common cold. This research was aiming to know about how are people’s perception about Vitamin C and its effect to common cold, and their perception about other benefit of consuming Vitamin C in daily life. Methods: this is a descriptive-qualitative research done by interviewing the amount of people who have suffered from common cold with purposive sampling, with 15-59 years old. Result: showing low value of people with perception that Vitamin C beneficially to common cold, and various perception about benefit of Vitamin C to human body, especially for maintaining immunity. Conclusion: only a few people’s perception about benefits of Vitamin C toward common cold, but actually Vitamin C could enhance immunity, potent antioxidant, reduce inflammatory, prevent infection, and treat common cold. Implication: Suplementation of Vitamin C in daily life is good for maintaining immune system, but don’t exceed from its limit which body can absorb. Better ask doctor or expert if you want to consume Vitamin C with extradose to cure your common cold

Yoghurt is a functional drink that is beneficial to health. However, nutritional losses, e.g. vitamin C, occurs during the thermal process. Therefore, vitamin C supplementation is needed to replace the lost amount during processing by adding the extract of podang urang mango (Mangifera indica L.). The yoghurt was made by adding 3% (v/v) of starter culture (Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp bulgaricus RRAM-01 and Streptococcus salivarus subsp thermophillus RRAM-01) and mango extract at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% (v/v) in four replications. The determination of vitamin C content was performed using titration method. The results showed that heating process at 85-90 °C in 35 minutes lowered the amount of vitamin C in the final product. However, the addition of podang urang mango extract at 6%, 8% and 10% could increase the amount of vitamin C.

Abstract Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is suggested as a substitute for the metaphosphoric acid/acetic acid (HPO3-HOAc) solvent system in the AOAC microfluorometric determination of vitamin C. Comparative advantages of TCA are easier handling, greater stability, and the approximate 10-fold increase in sensitivity. For both solvent systems, the influence of acid concentration on fluorescence is described. TCA provides maximum fluorescence enhancement at pH 5.5-6.0.

Abstract. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is micronutrient that is water soluble and indispensable for the body's metabolism, also plays a role in immune function. Vitamin C are easy to be absorbed actively. One of the fruits that contain vitamin C is melon fruit. Many varieties of melon fruit affect the vitamin C levels. The levels of vitamin C can be determined by 2,6-dichloroindophenol titration method using 2,6-dichloroindophenol solution. The advantages of the 2,6-dichloroindophenol titration method in the determination of vitamin C levels is reductor substances other than vitamin C are not oxidized by 2,6-dichloroindophenol. The examination begins with the determination of equivalence of 2,6-dichloroindophenol solution to vitamin C and followed by determination of vitamin C levels in several varieties of melon fruit. Equivalence of 2,6-dichloroindophenol solution to vitamin C was obtained 0,1347 mg vitamin C per 1 mL 2,6-dichloroindophenol solution. Levels of vitamin C in various varieties of melon fruit obtained that the highest levels was in Golden Melon variety (9,209 mg vitamin C per 100 g of Golden Melon) while the lowest levels was in Langkawi Melon variety (0,335 mg of vitamin C per 100 g of Langkawi Melon). It can be concluded that vitamin C levels contained in melon fruit vary and depend on melon fruit varieties.Keywords: Vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid, Melon Fruits, Varieties, Titration MethodREFERENCE S.

Ascorbic acid mostly comes from vegetables and fruits, especially fresh fruits. Vitamin C is a vitamin that can be formed by several types of plants. One of them is papaya which has various contents including vitamin C that can increase endurance, help skin rejuvenation and repair body tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of vitamin C contained in papaya using iodimetry and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The sample used in this study was papaya fruit. Determination of vitamin C levels in papaya samples using the titration method bas done by adding sample filtrate with starch indicator then titrated with titrant I2 until the endpoint color of blue titration is formed. Other hands, the determination of vitamin C levels in papaya samples using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method bas conducted by making an ascorbic acid calibration curve then the filtrated sample was added with H2SO4 5% and ammonium molybdate reagent, then the absorbance of the sample was measured at 494 nm wavelength. The results of the determination of vitamin C levels using the iodimetry was 0.0147% and the results of the determination of vitamin C levels using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method was 0.1313%. In conclusion, vitamin C levels analyzed by using UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods were greater than vitamin C levels analyzed by using the iodimetry method.
