CALCIUM ASCORBATE

CALCIUM ASCORBATE is a white to yellowish, practically odourless powder with a slightly bitter taste. It is freely soluble in water and practically insoluble in alcohol. CALCIUM ASCORBATE is stable to air if protected from humidity, but is slightly sensitive to heat. It is less susceptible to discoloration than ascorbic acid. CALCIUM ASCORBATE meets all requirements of the USP, FCC and Ph. Eur. when tested according to these compendia. CALCIUM ASCORBATE is suitable for use in the food industry for enrichment of dry food products. It helps increase the vitamin C content of foods without altering the taste or texture. CALCIUM ASCORBATE is stable during processing and storage of foods.
