Abstract
As is well known, methods of estimating ascorbic acid which depend upon the reducing nature of this substance (typically, reduction of the dye, 2: 6 dichlorphenolindophenol) are subject to interference by a variety of extraneous reducing substances. Attempts to render these methods more specific include:
