About Ascorbic Acid 99% Analytical Reagent Grade
Ascorbic acid, more commonly known as Vitamin C, is a water-soluble compound, and a potent antioxidant. Vitamin C refers specifically to the L-enantiomer of ascorbic acid, which is essential to human health.
Ascorbic acid is an antioxidant. It helps prevent and treat scurvy. It can help the body fight bacterial infections. It acts as a preservative to keep food fresh. Cosmetics and other personal care products use less acidic forms of ascorbic acid to slow deterioration of the finished product and to control the pH level. It has many industrial applications, including a developing agent and preservative in photo production, water purification, fluorescence microscopy, and in plastic manufacturing.
