IA on temperature on polyphenol (tannins apple cider) quantification using potassium permanganate titration (Lowenthal permanganate).

1. Temp on polyphenol (tannins apple cider) quantification using potassium permanganate titration (Lowenthal permanganate)
Polyphenols are antioxidants :
- found in blackberry, wines, blueberry, cranberry, grapes, cider, citrus fruits
- Tannins (TA), flavonoids, catechins, EGCG, EGC, ECG.
- quantification using potassium permanganate (titration)
- using indigo carmine indicator (blue) to green yellow
Antioxidants that can be quantified using permanganate titration
Procedure:
Potassium permanganate 0.004M (0.02N) was prepared.
0.1% (w/v) indigo carmine indicator 0.1g in 100ml acidified with H2SO4.
End point is greenish yellow.
Limitation : antioxidants like Vit C will be included
Assumption - all antioxidants esp polyphenol will be quantified.
Effect of temp (15, 45, 55, 65, 75) will be studied, using water bath.

2. Apple cider suitable for IA study due to its pale colour
Indicator change from blue to greenish yellow
Procedure:
Potassium permanganate 0.004M (0.02N) was prepared.
0.1% indigo carmine indicator 0.1g in 100ml acidified with H2SO4.
End point is greenish yellow.
For apple cider, 2ml was added to centrifuge tube.
Tube was immersed into water bath at various temp for 10 mins.
After 10 mins, 2ml water and 200ul of indigo carmine were added. Blue sol obtained.
Titrated with 0.004M KMnO4 until end point is seen.
Ini and final vol recorded.
Blank titration was done – 2 ml water and 200ul indicator without any antioxidants

Total polyphenol (mg/L TA) = (X – Y) x 4.157 x conc KMnO4 (N) x 10000
(0.6 - 0.2) x 4.157 x 0.02 x 10000 = 332mg/L

Total polyphenol (mg/L TA) = (X – Y) x 4.157 x conc KMnO4 (N) x 10000
4.157 – conversion factor to TA equivalents
10000 – conversion factor from % to mg/L of TA.
N – normality for KMnO4 which is 0.02N or 0.004M
X – Vol KMnO4 used
Y – Vol blank titration
TA – tannic acid
