Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid or L-ascorbic acid) is a compound involved in various metabolic processes. It supports the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and plays an essential role in the synthesis of hemoglobin, red blood cells, and certain hormones. Its antioxidant properties make it an indispensable ingredient across food, feed, industrial, and technical applications.

Vitamin C exists in its oxidized or reduced form as L-ascorbic acid. It is a white crystalline powder or granules with a slightly acidic taste. Highly sensitive to destruction by light, heat, and oxygen, Vitamin C requires careful storage and handling to maintain stability. In food and feed, it is used as an antioxidant and nutrient fortifier, while in industrial and technical applications, it is utilized for its reducing and stabilizing properties in processes such as water treatment, cosmetics, and chemical manufacturing.

The storage period of Vitamin C is 24 months. The product should be stored in a dry, cool place.
