I need to extract vitamin C from fruits/veggies, is there an easy way to do it? If so, can I have a link to a method or something to help me do it.

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?

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

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.

Thanks it helped me

 

Also, what about vitamin E?
