L-Ascorbic Acid

General description: Ascorbic Acid, also known as Vitamin C, is a six-carbon lactone produced by plants and some animal species but not by humans and other primates. Ascorbic acid functions as an enzymatic cofactor for multiple enzymes, serving as an electron donor for monooxygenases and dioxygenases. Ascorbic acid also functions as a powerful antioxidant, particularly in regards to reactive oxygen species.

Application: It protects tissues from oxidative damage by scavenging free radicals. It is commonly employed reductant in the laboratory. Ascorbic Acid E300 can be used as Color fixative, Preservatives, Acidity Regulators, nutrition supplements in food. It can be used as nutritional supplement in Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry feed.
