Results

 

The number of drops of juice you can put in before the blue starts disappearing the less vitamin C the juice contains.

 

Papaya – 20 drops

Orange – 29 drops

Lemon – 45 drops

Grapefruit – 77 drops

Lime – 126 drops

 

We were surprised that Papaya came first in our experiment.  But one thing we realized is that after we cut the fruits we left them lying out waiting to be tested, and as we kept on experimented the fruit juice needed more and more drops of iodine to make the blue disappear.  So the thing we discovered is that if you leave a fruit with Vitamin C just lying out in the open it loses some of its Vitamin C.
