title: Flow injection kinetic spectrophotometric determination of ascorbic acid based on an inhibiting effect.
abstract: A rapid and sensitive flow-injection kinetic spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of ascorbic acid. The procedure is based on the inhibiting effect of ascorbic acid on the enhancing effect of oxalate on the potassium dichromate-potassium iodide/rhodamine 6G system. The detection limit and linear ranges are 0.08 and 0.10-4.00 microg/ml, respectively. The relative standard deviation of 11 replicate measurements is less than 2.0%. This method has been successfully used to determine ascorbic acid in pharmaceuticals, tomatoes and oranges.
