What is Ascorbic Acid (L-ascorbic acid or Vitamin C)?

Ascorbic Acid, or L-ascorbic acid or Vitamin C, is a naturally occurring organic compound with antioxidant properties. It is a vital nutrient for maintaining overall health and essential for developing, developing, and repairing body tissues. Ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin. It cannot be stored in the body and must be consumed regularly through diet or supplementation.

How is Ascorbic Acid manufactured?

Ascorbic acid is primarily produced through a two-step fermentation process. First, simple sugars such as glucose are fermented by microorganisms to produce 2-Keto-L-gulonic acid (2KGA). In the second step, the 2KGA is chemically converted into Ascorbic Acid through a series of chemical reactions, which include hydrogenation, oxidation, and hydrolysis. The final product is then purified, crystallized, and dried to obtain a high-quality Ascorbic Acid powder.

What industries use Ascorbic Acid?

Ascorbic acid is widely used in various industries due to its versatile properties.

  • Food and Beverage: As a powerful antioxidant, Ascorbic Acid is used to preserve the freshness, taste, and colour of food products. It is also used as a nutritional supplement in various beverages, cereals, and dairy products.
  • Pharmaceutical: Ascorbic acid plays a crucial role in the production of certain medications and dietary supplements, offering a range of health benefits.
  • Cosmetic: Ascorbic acid is used in skincare products for its antioxidant and anti-aging properties, promoting collagen production and reducing skin damage.
  • Animal Feed: Ascorbic acid is added to animal feed to improve overall health and resistance to diseases.
  • Industrial: Strangely enough, ascorbic acid is used as a pool stain remover due to its crystalline texture. It is also used for water purification and brings about a chemical reaction when making plastics. Additionally, it is used as a developing agent and preservative in photo production.
