Product Description

Product Description

Erythorbic Acid, also known as D-isoascorbic acid or sodium erythorbate (its common salt form), is a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It is a naturally occurring organic compound, though it is typically produced synthetically via fermentation processes for commercial use. Erythorbic Acid is widely recognized as a highly effective antioxidant and food additive, valued for its ability to preserve freshness, color, and flavor in various applications.

Key Features:

Powerful Antioxidant: Inhibits oxidation in food and beverages, extending shelf life by preventing rancidity, discoloration, and nutrient degradation.
Water-Soluble: Easily dissolves in water, making it ideal for liquid-based formulations like beverages or marinades.
Non-Toxic & Safe: Approved by regulatory bodies (e.g., FDA, EFSA) as a food-grade additive (E315 or E316 for its sodium salt).
Synergistic with Nitrites: Enhances the efficacy of nitrites in cured meats while reducing nitrosamine formation (a potential carcinogen).
pH Stability: Effective across a broad pH range, suitable for acidic and neutral products.
Color & Flavor Preservation: Maintains vibrant colors in fruits, vegetables, and meats without altering taste.

Product Application

Food Industry:

Meat & Poultry: Used in cured meats (e.g., sausages, bacon) to fix color, inhibit bacterial growth, and reduce nitrite residues.
Beverages: Protects juices, soft drinks, and beers from oxidative spoilage.
Frozen Foods: Prevents browning and texture loss in frozen fruits, vegetables, and seafood.
Bakery Products: Extends freshness in doughs and baked goods. Pharmaceuticals: Stabilizes oxygen-sensitive medications and supplements.
Cosmetics: Acts as an antioxidant in skincare products to prevent ingredient degradation.
Industrial Uses: Serves as a reducing agent in chemical processes and photography.

Advantages Over Ascorbic Acid:

While chemically similar to vitamin C, Erythorbic Acid lacks its vitamin activity, making it a cost-effective alternative for non-nutritive antioxidant purposes. It is particularly favored in meat processing for its superior nitrite compatibility and stability under heat.
