Brief introduction:
Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient for higher primates and a few other organisms. Ascorbic acid can be produced by metabolism in most organisms, with the most notable exception in humans. It is best known that vitamin C deficiency can cause scurvy. The pharmacodynamic group of vitamin C is ascorbic acid ions. In living organisms, vitamin C is an antioxidant because it protects the body from oxidant threats, and vitamin C is also a coenzyme.
Physicochemical properties:
Vitamin C is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in ether, chloroform, benzene, petroleum ether, oils, fats. The aqueous solution is acidic. It can be quickly oxidized into dehydroascorbic acid in the air, and has a citric acid-like sour taste. It is a strong reducing agent, which gradually turns into different degrees of light yellow after storage for a long time. This product is found in a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits. This product plays an important role in biological oxidation and reduction and cellular respiration, which is conducive to nucleic acid synthesis and promotes the production of red blood cells. It can also reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+, which is easy to be absorbed by the body and is also beneficial to cell production.
Function:
Vitamin C is involved in the production of collagen in the body, neutralizes toxins, promotes the production of antibodies, and enhances the body's detoxification function. In medicine, it is mainly used for the prevention or treatment of scurvy, as well as for caries, gingival abscess, anemia, growth arrest and other diseases caused by insufficient ascorbic acid. In food processing, it is used as a vitamin enhancer for concentrated orange juice, fruit juice crystals, candy, jelly, jam, etc.
