THEORY
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid in citrus fruits is a water soluble carbohydrate like substance involved
in certain metabolic processes of animals. Although most of the animals can synthesise vitamin
C,
it is necessary in the diet of some including men and other primates. In order to prevent
scurvy, disease characterized by haemorrhage especially in skin and mucous membranes
Vitamin C was
identified as a curative agent for survey in 1928. The name ascorbic acid is derived from the
expression anaisearbatic vitamin, referring to vitamin’s ability to prevent and to curve scurvy.
First isolated in 1928 by Hungarian biochemist and Nobel Prize winner Albert Seent Ceyorghi.
Vitamin C has been the object of continued active laboratory research to determine the specific
mechanism of action of cells.
STRUCTURE
Ascorbic acid (AA) is a simple sugar. It is the most active
reducing agent known to occur naturally in living tissues, and is easily
reversibly
oxidized to Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA). Ascorbic acid is a white
crystalline stable substance, when in dry light and air. It is easily
soluble in water and easily oxidized especially in alkaline medium and
exposure to heat and light, it reacts with metals, particularly copper.
It
is fairly soluble in cold acid solution. Though the first stage in its
oxidation to DHA is reversible, oxidation to diketo-gulnic acid cannot
be reversed.
