In this study, the effects of degradation on ascorbic acid (AA) in asparagus-lemon juice with different blending ratios were investigated during storage. The R2 values first-order kinetic model for predicting AA loss 0.8216-0.9990, indicating that described well ratios. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize ratio optimum selected by RSM were: 23%, 26%, 27%, 28% and 29% dilu...
