Mathematical-modeling of the thermal-degradation kinetics of vitamin-c In cupuaçu (theobroma-grandiflorum) nectar

The thermal degradation kinetics of both components of vitamin C, ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA), were determined in a nectar of Cupuacßu (Theobroma grandi¯orum) with 25% of pulp and 15% of sugar in water. AA was assayed by HPLC and the results showed that AA degraded into DHAA....
