overview
About this food additive - Ascorbic Acid
Description
- Ascorbic acid is an organic compound widely known as vitamin C, essential for human nutrition and commonly used in the food industry as an antioxidant. It helps prevent oxidation, thereby preserving the colour, flavour, and nutritional value of food products.
- It occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits, and plays a key role in biological functions such as collagen synthesis and immune system support.
- In food processing, it is often added to prevent browning in fresh-cut produce and to improve the stability of products exposed to air.
- Ascorbic acid is water-soluble and sensitive to heat, light, and oxygen, which can cause it to degrade over time.
- It is generally recognised as safe and is widely used both as a dietary supplement and as a food additive
