Question

An orange juice is thermally processed for determining ascorbic acid degradation kinetics. After different temperature experiments, the following ascorbic acid concentration values were obtained:

*Ascorbic Acid (mg/L)*
Processing Time (second)
		0	15	30	60	90	120
Temperature (^oC)	75	558.3	546.5	535	526.5	519.6	508.6
85	608.6	595.2	587.4	572.7	557.5	542.3
95	612.6	601.5	588.2	546.1	521.8	509.5

According to the results;

Determine ascorbic acid degradation order
Derive the equations related to the degradation order (general equation and t_1/2)
Calculate k-values at the constant processing temperatures
Calculate activation energy (Ea) of the degradation reaction
Calculate half-life time of ascorbic acid for all processing

(For better evaluation, add figures for the addressed questions, if necessary)
