   Vitamin C concentrations in various food substances decrease with time in proportion to the temperature at which they are stored. [36] Cooking can reduce the vitamin C content of vegetables by around 60%, possibly due to increased enzymatic destruction. [37] Longer cooking times may add to this effect. [38]

   DCPIP can also be used as an indicator for vitamin C. [1] [2] If vitamin C, which is a good reducing agent, is present, the blue dye, which turns pink in acid conditions, is reduced to a colorless compound by ascorbic acid. This reaction is a redox reaction: vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid, and DCPIP is reduced to ...
