Empirical Kinetic Modelling of the Effect of l-Ascorbic Acid on the Cu(II)-Induced Oxidation of Quercetin
This study aimed at investigating the effect of l-ascorbic acid on the Cu2+-induced oxidation of quercetin, within a pH range from 6.7 to 8.3 and temperatures varying from 53 to 87 °C. Initial examinations showed that quercetin degradation obeyed apparent first-order kinetics and it was sign...
