		In this titration the NBS oxidises the ascorbic acid (in the presence of potassium iodide and starch).
		Ascorbic acid and its sodium, potassium, and calcium salts are commonly used as antioxidant food additives.

	Ascorbic Acid
		Ascorbic acid is the organic acid generally referred to as Vitamin C.
		Ascorbic acid can be found abundantly in citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes, a wide variety of vegetables and melons, and raw or lightly-cooked meat (especially liver and other organ meats) from an animal that produces its own vitamin C. Cooking or boiling destroys ascorbic acid, as does long storage.
		Very sick cancer or influenza patients, however, do not show toxicity until they take about a half-pound of vitamin C. Ascorbic acid is critical for producing collagen in connective tissue (the lack of which causes scurvy), and in synthesizing dopamine and carnitine (for mitochondrial energy).
