Determination of Vitamin C Concentration in Different Ornamental and Wild Plants

Abstract

Vitamin C is an important vitamin present in several fruits and plants. The goal of the present article is to determine and quantify the presence of vitamin C in different ornamental and wild plants. With lugol’s iodine technique Pistaccia lentiscus, Pyracantha coccinea and Solanum dulcamara have demonstrated to have the highest studied concentrations in our experiments. This experiment could help to elucidate sources of vitamin C in different plants.
