Guys,

I have to start my IA experiments ASAP and I decided to calculate the Vitamin C content in different stages of a Banana but I am struggling to figure out how to obtain the banana extract to test in the DCPIP solution or iodine Vitamin C test. I need a liquid extract and I could not figure out how to make the extract. Please help me

 

THanks

Cut a 100 g sample into small pieces. Place the sample into a blender or food processor, add 50 mL distilled water and blend to a pulp. Strain the fruit or vegetable pulp through cheesecloth, wash the pulp with a few 10 mL portions of water and collect all filtrate in a 150-mL or 250-mL beaker. 

 

Hope this helps you.
