Sodium Ascorbate

Food

Sodium Ascorbate is the sodium salt of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and is used as a food additive and preservative due to its antioxidant properties. It helps prevent the oxidation of food, maintaining freshness and extending shelf life by inhibiting the formation of harmful compounds. Sodium Ascorbate is commonly used in processed foods, beverages, and meats to preserve color and prevent spoilage. It also serves as a source of vitamin C in fortified foods and supplements. Unlike ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate is less acidic, making it gentler on the stomach.
