Human body requires ascorbic acid in order to form and maintain bones, blood vessels, and skin. The determination and comparison of ascorbic acid/vitamin C present in three different vegetables such as tomato, carrot and cucumber was studied. Determination of ascorbic acid was carried out by iodometric titration. The quantity of ascorbic acid found in tomato juice, carrot juice and cucumber juice are 0.619g/l, 0.4864g/l and 0.3979g/l respectively. The amount of ascorbic acid is more in tomato juice when compared with other vegetable juices.
