Titration of Orange Juice

Hi there,
recently I've received this assignment on titration
we have to research titration of orange juice and later on do the experiment. (have to provide my own oj D:)
but here is the problem,
i find these equations
Citric Acid
C3H5O(COOH)3 (aq) + 3 NaOH (aq) --> Na3C3H5O(COO)3 (aq) + 3 H2O (l)
Ascorbic Acid
HC6H7O6 (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> NaC6H7O6 (aq) + H2O (l)
we are required to find the concentration orange juice that we titrate but how am i supposed to find that?
When titrating the juice, I can't separate the Citric acid and the ascorbic acid can I? or is there some way of calculating it?
My method of titrating the juice:
standardising the NaOH with KHC8H4O4 then using the NaOH to titrate the diluted Orange juice.
edit: just realised that there are monosodium citrate, disodium citrate and trisodium citrate.
how would I know which of these i create during the titration and what are the uses.

You can used a standardized iodine solution against ascorbic acid. But first you must standardize the iodine solution with a substance such as sodium thiosulfate.

oh shoot....
should've mentioned I can only use KHC8H4O4, NaOH, phenolphthalein indicator, distilled water and juice
also the equipment I have at my disposal are pipette, burette, flasks, funnel and beakers
