Abstract: This study aimed to determine the pH and compare the acidity of natural and industrialized orange juice using potentiometric methods. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) influences the nutritional value and taste of citrus foods. Potentiometric titration with 0.1254 mol/L NaOH was used on juice samples. The natural juice showed 0.2308 g of ascorbic acid, while the artificial juice showed 0.2098 g. Both samples showed similar acidity, with two ionizable H+ ions. It was concluded that the natural juice had slightly more ascorbic acid.
