Product Description

L-Ascorbic Acid

Application Notes

L-Ascorbic Acid is used as an Antimicrobial and Antioxidant in foodstuffs. Reductant for the isolation of chloroplasts. It has an effect on the nonspecific immune system. Preserves nitric oxide (NO) which may help prevent endothelial dysfunction. It also helps prevent and reverse the oxidative damage done to proteins and lipids as a result of cigarette smoke.

Biochemical Physiological Actions	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.
