This investigation was carried out to determine the effect of different cooking methods on the vitamin C content of the selected vegetables. The redox titration method was used for the determination of vitamin C (C6H8O6) in this research. The findings of this study suggest that vitamin C activity drops on treatment with heat. The percentage of vitamin C activity loss was 33-95% on frying, 6-93% on boiling and 5-92% on steaming. This study suggests that we should consume vegetables in fresh form in food to get maximum nutrition with regard to ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) especially. | Effect of different cooking methods on vitamin C content of some selected vegetables
