title: Spectrophotometric determination of ascorbic acid in pharmaceutical preparations and fruit juices.
abstract: Conditions were established for the determination of ascorbic acid using phsophovanadotungstic acid as reagent. The method was applied to the determination of ascorbic acid in pure form, pharmaceutical preparations and fruit juices. The method is sensitive (2-24 micrograms ml-1 of ascorbic acid) and rapid and tolerates the presence of common ingredients usually found in fruit juices. The results obtained with the proposed method showed good agreement with those given by the standard method.
