What is Ascorbic Acid?
Ascorbic Acid (also known as artificial vitamin C) is a top-rated product within the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics ingredients industries as a vitamin supplement, antioxidant and preservation agent.
The manufacture of Ascorbic Acid occurs in one of two ways. The first is the Reichstein Process. This process is a single pre-fermentation and a chemical condensation for the final product. The Second and more commonly used method is known as the Fermentation Process. This route uses additional fermentation to replace part of the later chemical stages in the production process.
Both methods use Sorbitol as a starting material, providing a 60% yield of Vitamin C from the glucose feed supplied. China produces roughly 95% of all Ascorbic Acid, making $880m in 2017 alone.
Vitamin C is a powerful preservative in meat, improver in baked goods, shelf life extender in drinks and a supplement, making it an essential option for many businesses. Ascorbic Acid is a colourless to white solid with minimal taste or odour. Its most common solid form is as a powder for its more comfortable use in blends and solutions.
