Description
Ascorbic acid is vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin essential to human nutrition and one of the highest-volume vitamins in commerce. Beyond its nutritional role it is used very widely as a technical ingredient — as an antioxidant protecting colour and flavour in beverages and processed foods, as a dough improver in bakery, and as a curing accelerator in meat processing. In cosmetics it is used in brightening preparations. The material is a white to very pale yellow crystalline powder, freely soluble in water, with a sharp acidic taste. It is readily oxidised — accelerated by heat, light, alkaline pH and trace metals — so formulations require care.
