Author(s): Santosh D Ashtaputrey and Prashant D Ashtaputrey
Abstract: In the present study, estimation of ascorbic acid content is determined by spectrophotometric and iodimetric titration methods in oranges from different orange producing cities in the Nagpur district. The spectrophotometric method was found favorable and satisfactory for vitamin-C determination because of its sensitivity, ease, and minimal errors. The study shows the maximum vitamin-C content of 70-73 mg /100 g of sample in Narkhed region oranges (NO). The order of vitamin-C content in oranges is found to be in order NO (Narkhed oranges) > SO (Saoner oranges) > PO (Parseoni oranges) > KO (Kalmeshwar oranges). The results obtained are represented as ± standard deviation (SD). These results clearly suggest that oranges can be consumed to meet the daily requirements of vitamin-C in a cost effective manner.
