Ascorbic Acid

Ascorbic acid is an antioxidant (also known as vitamin C) that helps limit oxidation, particularly of fats.
It therefore helps preserve the taste and color of the finished product.
It is commonly used in fruit preparations and fruit juices.
When used as a flour treatment agent, it strengthens the gluten network. Ascorbic acid can be used in dietary products (infant food, reduced-energy foods, etc.) as well as in pharmaceutical preparations.
For adults, the recommended daily intake of vitamin C is around 60 mg per day. The product can also be used in multivitamin preparations to help meet specific nutritional requirements.
