GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ASCORBIC ACID

ASCORBIC ACID (also called VITAMIN C ) is a carbohydrate-like substance involved in the metabolic functions including synthesis of collagen, maintenance of the structural strength of the blood vessels, metabolism of certain amino acids, and the synthesis or release of hormones in the adrenal glands. It occurs as a white or slightly yellow crystal or powder with a slight acidic taste. Traditional synthesis of ascorbic acid is through the Reichstein process which requires bioconversion of sorbitol followed by a seven-step chemical process. Newly developted fermentation technology is used to reduce production costs of the key ascorbic intermediate, ketogulonic acid. Vitamin C has a very simple structure. Chemically, it is ketothreohexuronic acid. It is an antiscorbutic product. On exposure to air and light it gradually darkens. Ascorbic Acid is freely soluble in water; sparingly soluble in alcohol; insoluble in chloroform, ether, and benzene. Ascorbyl Palmitate is an ascorbate bonded to palmitic acid to form a Vitamin C ester, used as an anti-staling compound which retard the staling of food products, and soften the crumb. Other anti-staling compounds are sucrose stearate, polyoxyethylene monostearate, glyceryl monostearate, stearoyl tartrate (polyoxyethylene and monoglyceride derivatives of fatty acids)
