Ascorbate is catalytically oxidized by a coupled iron-ceruioplasmin system, the iron ions functioning as a red/ox cycling intermediate between ceruloplasmin and ascorbate. Serum albumin, an iron binding compound, was found to stimulate the ascorbate oxidation rate. It is proposed that ferrous ions r

The pertechnetate ion oxidizes ascorbic acid in strong acid medium to form red species. A reaction mechanism has been developed which correctly predicts all the experimental facts. The results obtained support the postulate according to which the red species corresponds to a complex formed between T
The reaction between chromium(V1) and L-ascorbic acid has been studied by spectrophotometry in the presence of aqueous citrate buffers in the pH range 5.69-7.21. The reaction is slowed down by an increase of the ionic strength. At constant ionic strength, manganese(I1) ion does not exert any appreci
