Vitamin C (VC)—a collective term for the different oxidation and protonation forms of ascorbic acid (AscH)—is an essential micronutrient that serves as (i) a potent antioxidant and (ii) a cofactor of a manifold of enzymatic processes. Its role in health is related to redox balance maintenance, which is altered in diseases such as obesity, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, hypertension, and autoimmune diseases. Despite its importance, VC uptake has been poorly investigated. Available literature values for the passive membrane permeability P of lipid bilayers for AscH scatter by about 10 orders of magnitude. Here, we show by voltage clamp that P − of AscH’s anionic form (ascorbate Asc − ) is negligible. To cross the membrane, Asc − picks up a proton in the membrane vicinity and releases it on the other side of the membrane. This leads to a near-membrane pH drop that was visualized by scanning pH microelectrodes. The AscH concentration dependent pH profiles indicated P   =   1.1   ±   0.1   ×   10 − 8   cm / s . Thus, AscH’s P is comparable to that of sorbitol and much lower than that of other weak acids like acetic acid or salicylic acid. The observation suggests that the capacity of the passive transcellular transport pathway across the lipid matrix does not suffice to ensure the required VC intake from the gastrointestinal tract.

The study was aimed to fortify the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal (AMF) spores, widely used in Bio-fertilizers with chitosan and check the inuence of chitosan on the viability of AMF spores. Chitosan was prepared from shrimp shells using chemical method involving demineralization, deproteinization and deacetylation.AMF spores were kept in three different concentrations of chitosan (0.1%, 0.5 %and 1%) which was prepared in 0.1% acetic acid and 0.1% ascorbic acid. Spore viability was checked by the MTT 3-(4, 5 th th th dimethylthiazol-yl-2, 5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) after a day, 10 day, 20 day and 30 day. Highest number of viable spores was observed in chitosan dissolved in 0.1% ascorbic acid as compared to chitosan in acetic acid.

Abstract Ascorbic acid can be determined in enriched evaporated milk by titration with 2,6-dichIoroindophenol. Most of the interfering substances are removed by precipitation with an acetic acid-metaphosphoric acid solution. Blank titrations obtained after condensing ascorbic acid with formaldehyde are used to correct for traces of interfering substances remaining in solution. Recoveries of ascorbic acid added to milk were 98.5% (coefficient of variation, 1.9). In a collaborative assay involving six analysts, the coefficient of variation was about 2% for one analyst on any day and 3.5% among analysts "on any day.
