Mineral Ascorbates




Mineral ascorbates are salts of Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C). They are powders manufactured by reacting ascorbic acid with mineral Carbonate s in aqueous solutions, venting the Carbon Dioxide , drying the reaction product, and then milling the dried product to the desired particle size.

The choice of the mineral carbonates can be Calcium Carbonate , Potassium Carbonate , Sodium Bicarbonate , Magnesium Carbonate , or many other mineral forms. Ascorbates are highly reactive Antioxidant s used as food preservatives.

Ascorbate salts may be better tolerated than the correspoding weakly acidic ascorbic acid.

Examples of mineral ascorbates are:
  • Sodium ascorbate ( E301 )

  • Calcium ascorbate ( E302 )

  • Potassium ascorbate ( E303 )

  • Magnesium ascorbate
