Based on direct spectrophotometry and the oxidation of ascorbic acid by guaiacol peroxidase, this method was simple, rapid and highly specific for ascorbic acid. No interference was seen for any food sample tested, including vegetables, fruits, potatoes, beans, chicken liver, processed food, tea and seaweed. This method was applicable to colored and/or sugar-rich samples, and more precise than officially adopted chemical methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
