Food additives L(+)-Ascorbic acid CAS 50-81-7

Ascorbic acid (C6H8O6) is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties. The pure ascorbic acid is white solids, but some of the impurities are slightly yellowish. Ascorbic acid is soluble in water and forms a mildly acidic solution. The substance was originally called “l-hexuronic acid”, but when it was found to have vitamin C activity in animals, it was suggested that it be renamed. Ascorbic acid is a vitamin C defined as a vitamin activity, not a specific substance. The new name, Ascorbic acid, is derived from the word “Ascorbic acid” from: a- (means “no”) + scorbutus (denotes “scurvy”, which is due to a lack of vitamin C). Ascorbic acid is derived from glucose, and many animals can make it, but humans need it as part of their nutrition. Other vertebrates lacking the production of ascorbic acid include primates, guinea pigs, real bone fish, bats and some birds, all of which need ascorbic acid as a micronutrient in the diet.

Stable. May be weakly light or air sensitive. Incompatible with oxidizing agents, alkalies, iron, copper.
