Ascorbic acid is one of the most import am ingredients of jOOd. fruits. and mm1r pharmaceutical
la/!el.\ and preparations. A square w1n•e voltammetric technique using carbon paste electrode
was developed for the determination of ascorbic acid content in pharmaceutical tablets.
Voltammetrlc measurements were made in a potential range of -100 mV tolOOO mV using a scan
