Introduction |

We chose to do our science fair project on Vitamin C because we wanted to find a way to see which fruits that we eat a lot have the most Vitamin C or any Vitamin C at all. To do so we did some research and found that to see if the fruit has Vitamin C you put iodine mixed with starch solution in the fruit juice. If the juice has Vitamin C it will react with the Vitamin C and the starch solution and the iodine will disappear and it will come back to its original colour, or at least close. To find out which fruit juice contained the most Vitamin C we did the same thing but we keep adding drops of the fruits juice until the blue color from the iodine disappeared. The number of juice drops you put into the iodine and the starch solution is the amount of Vitamin C there is in that fruit. |
