Abstract: In the present study, determination of ascorbic acid content is determined in different fruits by using UV spectroscopy. In this method bromine water is added which oxidizes the ascorbic acid into dehydroascorbic acid. 2,4 dinitrophenyl hydrazine gives coupling reaction at 37°C temperature for 3 hours. After 3 hours solution is treated with 85% H2SO4 which gives coloured complex and the absorbance was measured at 491nm. The content of vitamin C was found maximum in Black currant and minimum in Grapes
