Broccoli lab

[tilda.an]

Helloo! I am doing a lab soon where we make our own research questions. Mine is involving finding vitamin c content in broccoli before and efter its been boiled.

 

Does anyone know how to find the vitamin c content in the raw broccoli, how to get juice from it? I have access to a foodprocessor.

 

Also, any other suggestions on better vegetables i could boil?

A food processor would probably work fine, followed by filtering the pulp through something like muslin. I would process it with some water also, just to get it all out.

why you want to boil vegetables ? vitamin C is heat intolerant.

why you want to boil vegetables ? vitamin C is heat intolerant.

Because it tastes good.

How do you know?

 

Could it be because someone did an experiment where they measured it before and after cooking?

 

I wonder how people learn to do experiments like that.

 

Incidentally this is about the only thing where G Bush and I agree.

nutritionists say vitamin C will be destroyed during cooking, which is what i learned for years....

have you thought of quantifying the vitamin c through DCPIP titration or what?

Also, other vegetables could be bell peppers that have a lot of vitamin c.
