Phi for All Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 So you can use magic to turn water into wine for but for extracting vitamin C you need science? Niiiice. What's this for? What equipment do you have available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusChrist Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 we want to see the effects of vitamin C on cells. I dont know what equipment i have access to becauseits at school, but we have a lot of things. I also need to do the same thing with vitamin E so if there is a way to do it I would like to know thanks JesusChrist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It's difficult since ascorbic acid is easily oxidized and damaged by heat. There are some products you can get in health food stores that claim to be 100% pure Vitamin C, not borne in salts or other carriers. I'd try that before anything else. Here's a PubMed abstract entitled Nitrogen-protected microwave-assisted extraction of ascorbic acid from fruits and vegetables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
