“…Numerous methods for the analysis of vitamin C and/or isovitamin C in foodstuffs have been described. These include the indicator-dye reduction method with dichlorophenolindophenol (Hiromi et al, 1980), the ketone derivatization method with dinitrophenylhydrazine (Bourgeois and Mainguy, 1974;Pelletier and Brassard, 1977), fluorometric methods by condensation of DHAA with OPDA (Kirk and Ting, 1975;Egberg et al, 1977), an enzymatic method using ascorbate oxidase (Beutler and Beinstingl, 1980), and HPLC methods with UV detection (Geigert et al, 1981;Bui-Nguyén, 1980;Dennison et al, 1981;Keating and Haddad, 1982) and electrochemical detection (Pachla and Kissinger, 1976;Rückemann, 1980).…”
