Low cost in situ digital image method, based on spot testing and smartphone images, for determination of ascorbic acid in Brazilian Amazon native and exotic fruits

Add time:08/10/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

In this work, we propose a method that employed a smartphone to capture images obtained from a colorimetric spot test to determine ascorbic acid (AA) in Brazilian Amazon native and exotic fruits. The spot test reaction was based on reduction of Fe(III) by AA and further complexation with 1,10-phenanthroline. After optimization, the limit of detection was 8.5 × 10−7 mol L−1. Brazilian Amazon native fruits such as bacuri, cupuaçu, muruci, yellow mombin, as well as others as cashew, mango, orange and passion fruit, were analyzed. In order to determine the accuracy of this method, iodometric titration was used; results were in close agreement with a confidence level of 95% (paired t-test). Moreover, recoveries ranged from 87.1 to 116%. The method is economic, environmentally friendly, and portable, and might useful for small producers and family agriculture businesses unable to afford specialized laboratory analysis in the north region of Brazilian Amazon.
