Vitamin C merupakan salah satu zat gizi yang berperan sebagai antioksidan dan
efektif mengatasi radikal bebas yang dapat merusak sel atau jaringan. Buah-buahan
merupakan sumber vitamin C, diantaranya yaitu buah jeruk. Hasil penelitian, menujukkan
bahwa kadar vitamin C dengan menggunak metode spektrofotometri UV-Vis lebih tinggi
dibandingkan dengan metode iodimetri (Karinda et al., 2013).
This experiment can to measure the levels of vitamin C with spectrophotometry and
iodometry titration method. Based on two methods conducted for quantitative test on
knowing the level of Vitamin C in the samples, the spectrophotometric method gave more
accurate result rather than iodometric titration method (Sarah et al., 2017).
Sampel 25 g, adding 50 mL of oxalic acid 0.4% bit by bit. Furthermore, the mixture is
filtered by
using a buchner filter so that the resulting filtrate can be maximized. The filtrate is taken
and fed into a 500 ml measuring flask, and append it with 0.4% oxalic acid solution to the
marking margin.
