Product Description – Vitamin C

Vitamin C, chemically known as L-Ascorbic Acid, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C₆H₈O₆. Commercial material typically appears as a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder and dissolves readily in water.

In food manufacturing, Ascorbic Acid is identified as E300 and is used as an antioxidant and processing ingredient in suitable formulations. Beverage manufacturers also use food-grade material in juices, drink mixes, and other fortified products.

Pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturers use appropriately specified grades in tablets, capsules, powders, syrups, and nutritional formulations. Cosmetic manufacturers may incorporate suitable forms into professionally developed skincare and personal-care products.
