Notes:
A highly sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of ascorbic acid in foods and beverages was developed. Ascorbic acid was extracted with 0.lM H2SO4/ 0.01% EDTA solution, separated on an anion exclusion column and detected amperometrically with a platinum electrode operating at +0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Excellent correlation was observed among results obtained by ion exclusion chromatography with either electrochemical or UV detection and by the AOAC 2,6-di-chloroindophenol titrimetric method. Ion exclusion chromatography with electrochemical detection was more sensitive and specific for ascorbic acid than the other two methods.
