Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total vitamin C content (VC) was determined by the reduction of dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid (AA) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Jasco, Italy). The reduction was carried out by mixing 0.5 g of FOP or 0.075 g of each of the 12 freeze-dried puree samples with 2 mL of a 20 g/L DL-dithiothreitol solution (Scharlab, Spain) for 2 h at room temperature and under darkness [35 (link),36 (link)]. The extraction of the mixture was carried out according to Xu et al. [37 (link)]. The HPLC conditions were: Kromaphase100-C18, 5 mm (4.6 × 250 mm) column (Scharlab SL); mobile phase 0.1% oxalic acid, volume injected 10 μL, flow rate 1 mL/min, detection at 243 nm (detector UV-visible MD-1510, Jasco, Cremella, Italy) at 25 °C. A standard solution of L (+) ascorbic acid (Scharlab SL, Sentmenat, Spain) in the range of 5–200 ppm was prepared. The VC content was calculated as mg AA/100g db sample and the percentage (%) of this bioactive compound preserved in the FDP in reference to the FOP was calculated (Equation (7)). Three replicates were performed per sample.

Vitamin C (VC) was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Jasco, Italy). For the analysis, 0.075 g of powder was used. The procedure employed was the reduction of dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid, using DLdithiothreitol (Scharlab S.L, Spain) as the reductant reagent, and extraction with oxalic acid (Scharlab S.L, Spain) (Igual et al., 2014; (link)Xu et al., 2008) (link). The HPLC conditions were: KROMAPHASE100-C18, 5mm (4.6x250mm) column (Scharlab S.L, Spain); mobile phase 0.1 % oxalic acid, volume injection 20 L, flow rate 1mL/min, detection at 243 nm (detector UV-visible MD-1510) and at 25 ºC. A standard solution of L(+) ascorbic acid (Scharlab S.L, Spain) solution was prepared.

Total VCC was determined reducing dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid [16] , by highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Jasco, Cremella, Italy). In brief, 0.5 g of powder were mixed with 2 ml of a 20 g/l DL-dithiothreitol solution (Scharlab S.L., Barcelona, Spain) for 2 h at room temperature and in a dark condition. Afterwards, VCC was extracted [17] . For that, 1 g of this mixture was extracted with 9 ml 0.1% oxalic acid (Scharlab S.L, Barcelona, Spain) under stirring for 3 min and filtered through a 0.45 m membrane filter. Finally, the VCC was determined by HPLC with the following conditions: Kromaphase 100-C18 column (4.6 x 250 mm, 5 mm) (Scharlab S.L, Barcelona, Spain); mobile phase 0.1% oxalic acid, 20 ml volume injection, 1ml/min flow rate. Detection was made at 25ºC and at 243 nm using a detector UV-visible MD-1510. A standard solution of L (+) ascorbic acid (Scharlab S.L., Barcelona, Spain) in the range of 10-530 ppm was prepared.
The VCC was calculated as g of ascorbic acid (AA) per kg of OS (g AA/ kg OS).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
