Introduction:

Vitamins are micronutrients, which means that they only required in only small amounts
by the body. It is to maintain health and well-being. An example of vitamins is Vitamin C. It is
also known as ascorbic acid. It plays role in cell division, in in cell wall synthesis an in inhibition
of dangerous compounds like hydrogen peroxide.
This experiment is done to analyse samples of materials for the amount of ascorbic acid
in each of those samples. The indicator used will be the dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP)
solution. The reaction between DCPIP solution and the solution containing the sample extract
will determine the amount of Vitamin C available in that particular sample.
