Abstract:An easily performed, specific, sensitive, rapid, reliable and inexpensive procedure for the spectrofluorometric quantitation of ascorbic acid was proposed using acriflavine as a fluorescence quenching reagent. The procedure was based on the determined quenching effect of ascorbic acid on the natural fluorescence signal of acriflavine and the reaction between ascorbic acid and acriflavine in Britton–Robinson buffer solution (pH 6) to produce an ion‐associated complex. The reduction in acriflavine fluorescence intensity was detected at 505 nm, while excitation occurred at 265 nm. The relationship between quenching fluorescence intensity (?F) and concentration of ascorbic acid was linear (R2 = 0.9967) within the range 2–10 μg/ml and with a detection limit of 0.08 μg/ml. No significant interference was detected from other materials often found in pharmaceutical nutritional tablets. The obtained results were compared with those from high‐performance liquid chromatography and appeared in good agreement, with no important differences in precision or accuracy. The proposed spectrofluorimetric method was used to determine the amount of ascorbic acid in a number of commercial pharmaceutical nutritional supplement tablets with a 95% confidence performance.
