Ascorbic Acid

Ascorbic Acid also known as Vitamin C is a vital nutritional supplement, it is used as an anti-oxidant in food preservation industry. Its many uses include food industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics & feed additives

Ascorbic Acid is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties. It is a white solid, but impure samples can appear yellowish. It dissolves well in water to give mildly acidic solutions. Ascorbic Acid is one form ("vitamer") of vitamin C. It was originally called L-hexuronic acid, but, when it was found to have vitamin C activity in animals ("vitamin C" being defined as a vitamin activity, not then a specific substance), the suggestion was made to rename it. The new name, Ascorbic Acid, is derived from a- (meaning "no") and scorbutus (scurvy), the disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C. Because it is derived from glucose, many animals can produce it, but humans require it as part of their nutrition.
