Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant used in the food industry despite its well-known instability. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of sweet basil methanolic and ethanolic extracts in delaying vitamin C degradation in a model solution and in guava juice during storage (25, 35, and 45 degrees C). Solutions containing methanolic extracts (0.5-2%) had higher vitamin C content than controls at all times and temperatures. The protective effect depended on extract concentration, storage time, and storage temperature (p<.01). Ethanolic extracts were only significantly beneficial at 35 and 45 degrees C (p<.05). At these temperatures, methanolic extracts were better at preserving vitamin C in the model solution and the guava juice. The vitamin C was 38.6 and 45.3% higher than the control with a 3% methanolic extract in guava juice after 1week at 35 and 45 degrees C, respectively. Practical applicationsVitamin C has been used extensively in food, supplement, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries as a nutrient as well as a potent antioxidant. The major limitation is its instability towards heat, light, and oxidation. This study offered a natural solution to vitamin C preservation in foods. It also provided basis for future development of natural preservative for oxidation sensitive compounds in foods and supplement products.
