Detection and quantification of ascorbic acid in yellow crimson watermelon (citrullus lanatus) by using reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) / Nurarifah Abd Rahim
Watermelon or Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. And Nakai is a good source of phytonutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin C, water soluble vitamins which is an essential micronutrient that have several important biological functions. Vitamin C as a potent antioxidant can eliminates reactive oxy...

Watermelon or Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. And Nakai is a good source of phytonutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin C, water soluble vitamins which is an essential micronutrient that have several important biological functions. Vitamin C as a potent antioxidant can eliminates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and protective against oxidative damage. Due to lack of an enzyme human cannot synthesize ascorbic acid hence, it has to be supplemented through fruits such as watermelon. However, there are insufficient studies on ascorbic acid identification and quantification by using HPLC with better extraction method that can prevent ascorbic acid oxidation in local yellow watermelon.
