Handling and Storage :Ascorbic Acid Plain

Because vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, excesses in the diet are not absorbed and excesses in the blood are rapidly excreted in the urine, it has a remarkably low acute toxicity. More than two to three grammes might induce indigestion, especially if consumed on an empty stomach.

Ascorbic Acid Plain Structure

Ascorbic acid's physical and chemical characteristics are determined by its chemical structure. It is a weak, water-soluble, unstable organic acid that oxidises or degrades readily under light, aerobic conditions (oxygen), high temperatures, alkali, humidity, copper, and heavy metals. Ascorbic acid is commonly found as a white or slightly yellowish crystalline powder.
