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, Because it is derived from glucose, many animals are able to produce it, but humans require it as part of their nutrition. There exists a D-ascorbic acid, which does not occur in nature. It may be synthesized artificially. 收起 | |

It is added as a mineral supplement for infant formula and is used as an anti-caking agent for powders. Solutions of copper sulfate can be sprayed on fruits to prevent mold growth. Chemically, it is a component used in the manufacture of a class of colors, called azo dyes. It is hard to comprehend how one less water molecule can turn a pesticide into a food grade dietary supplement used in infant formula. 收起 | |

It is also known as Indian tragacanth, it is a complex polysaccharide. The swelling capacity makes it particularly useful as a thickening agent. It possesses two outstanding characteristics - its ability to form solutions of high viscosity and its high degree of stability under strongly acidic conditions. Gum Karaya is an emulsifying agent; it works as a stabilizer and thickener in highly acidic food products. It is used as a thickener in medications, cosmetics, and denture adhesives; and as a binder and stabilizer in foods and beverages. 收起 | |

It has not been demonstrated to be more bioavailable than any other form of vitamin C supplement. Sodium ascorbate normally provides 131 mg of sodium per 1,000 mg of ascorbic acid, this product is a white crystaline powder. Sodium ascorbate is produced by dissolving ascorbic acid in water and adding an equivalent amount of sodium bicarbonate in water. After cessation of effervescence, the sodium ascorbate is precipitated by the addition of isopropanol. 收起 |
