Product description
Total Ascorbic Acid (TAA) includes both reduced and dehydroascorbic acid. Reduced ascorbic acid is easily oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid, which reacts with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form a red complex soluble in sulfuric acid. This red substance has a maximum absorption peak at 520nm, from which the total ascorbic acid (TAA) content is calculated.
Additional Materials and Equipments Required
