Ledesma, Claudia Martins; Krepsky, Larissa Mascarenhas; Borges, Endler Marcel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Here, students determine the total phenolic content in beers using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. The Folin-Ciocalteu reagent is a yellow complex, in an alkaline medium; it reacts with phenols and non-phenolic reducing substances to form a blue complex. Quantitative analysis was carried out using absorbance measured at 765 nm (standard method) and…
