    This experiment aimed to determine whether lime juice or pineapple juice contains more vitamin C. It was hypothesized that lime juice contains more vitamin C than pineapple juice. Different volumes of lime juice, pineapple juice, and a vitamin C solution were added dropwise to solutions of DCPIP indicator. The volume needed to decolorize each solution was recorded. Analysis of the results showed that lime juice required a greater volume (2.5 ml) than pineapple juice (1.4 ml) to decolorize the DCPIP. Therefore, the conclusion was that lime juice contains more vitamin C than pineapple juice, supporting the original hypothesis.

    Technique

    To record the volume of fruit juice needed to decolorize the 1 ml DCPIP


    using a scaled syringe.

    Procedure

    1.

    Three specimen tubes are labeled as ascorbic acid, lime juice and
    pineapple juice.
    1 ml of DCPIP solution is placed in each specimen tube.
    A syringe is filled with 5 ml of ascorbic acid solution.
    The needle of the syringe is immersed in the DCPIP solution.
    The ascorbic solution is added drop by drop to the DCPIP solution and
    the tube is shaken slowly.
    The amount of ascorbic acid solution use to decolorize the DCPIP
    solution is recorded.
    Steps 2 to 6 are repeated using lime and pineapple juices.
    The percentage and concentration of vitamin C in the in the fruit juices
    are calculated. using the following

    Lime juice contain more vitamin C than pineapple juice. The hypothesis
    is accepted

    Formula Calculation:
    Percentage of vitamin C= Volume of 0.1% ascorbic acid solution X 0.1
    Volume of fruit juice
    Concentration of Vitamin C = Volume of 0.1% ascorbic acid solution
    Volume of fruit juice

    The greater the volume of fruit juice needed to decolorize 1ml DCPIP
    solution, the lower the content of vitamin C in the fruit juice
