Vitamin C also known as, ascorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, the antiscorbutic vitamin, L-xyloascorbic acid and L-threo-hex-2-uronic acidy-lactone. Vitamin C is required in the synthesis of collagen in connective tissue, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, carnitine, and conversion of cholesterol to bile acids and enhances iron bioavailability. Ascorbic acid is a great antioxidant and helps protect the body against pollutants. Because vitamin C is a biological reducing agent, it is also linked to prevention of degenerative diseases - such as cataracts, certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Ascorbic acid also promotes healthy cell development, proper calcium absorption, normal tissue growth and repair - such as healing of wounds and burns. It assists in the prevention of blood clotting and bruising, and strengthening the walls of the capillaries. Vitamin C is needed for healthy gums, to help protect against infection, and assisting with clearing up infections and is thought to enhance the immune system and help reduce cholesterol levels, high blood pressure and preventing arteriosclerosis.
Also known as Vitamin C, its source is plant, usually citrus.
an antioxidant, fights free radicals, helps slow down and prevent skin aging.
vitamin C, a water soluble vitamin with many uses within the body. Its deficiency leads to the disease scurvy. As an antioxidant, it inhibits the formation of nitrosamines (a suspected carcinogen). Vitamin C is important for the maintenance of bones, teeth, collagen, and blood vessels (capillaries). It enhances iron absorption and red blood cell formation. The current RDA is 60 mg per day. For more detailed information, see Vitamin C in our Nutritional Focus section. You can also find more information and obtain vitamin C in our PycC(tm) (and Pet PycC(tm)), BioAssist(tm), Liqui C+B Complex(tm) and Nutri-Vite(tm) Mega Minerals.
Vitamin C, an essential nutrient found mainly in fruits and vegetables. The body requires it to form and maintain bones, blood vessels, and skin. Like other vitamins, ascorbic acid is an organic compound. An organic compound is a substance that (1) occurs in living things, or organisms (hence, the word "organic") and (2) contains the elements carbon and oxygen (hence, the word "compound," meaning combination of elements).

A natural antioxidant which traps oxygen; used in beverage processing such as beer manufacturing to reduce oxygen.

A common antioxidant related to Vitamin C which is added to wines during their making. Additive 300 on Australian wine labels.

Scientific name for Vitamin C
Vitamin C is added to some commercially milled flours to help mature the flour and to improve its bread making qualities. Add approximately 250 mg for each 2 cups of flour. I have found granulated vitamin C at the health food store. The strength of vitamin C I use is 2000 mg/tsp (information found on side of container). I want 250 mg so I use the following equation to determine how much to use per 2 cups of flour: 250/2000 = .125 or 1/8 tsp. Testing was done using 1/8 tsp. of vitamin C granules in the small recipe, 1/8+ in the medium and 1/4 tsp. in the large. Vitamin C tablets may be crushed, or ground with a mortar and pestle.
A natural component found in wine that is sometimes added to prevent oxidation occurring. If ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) has been added, the wine label will show 'Antioxidant 300 added'.
The chemical name for vitamin C. This vitamin is necessary to prevent the terrible disease known as scurvy, which killed many hundreds of thousands of men at sea in times past. It also stops your teeth from falling out! And amongst other uses heals wounds like burns. So drink plenty of citrus fruit juice, where vitamin C is prevalent. It is also found in all other fruits and vegetables.
A substance found in many fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits (oranges and lemons) and tomatoes. It is water soluble, and vitamin C excesses are excreted through the kidney. It is synthesized within the bodies of most animal species, except primates, guinea-pigs, fruit bats, and some fish. These species which do not synthesize vitamin C require it in their diet. Vitamin C helps to potentiate the antioxidant effect of vitamin E, but in excessive doses, it can cause flatulence and diarrhea.
The organic acid more commonly known as Vitamin C. A water soluble vitamin and an antioxidant. Your body cannot store Vitamin C, so you must supplement it regularly. It is not resistant to heat, so cooking will destroy it. Vitamin C functions primarily in the formation of collagen, the chief protein substance of your body's framework. It also helps in the production of vital body chemicals. Vitamin C is also a detoxifier (helping cleanse your body of toxins). See: Vitamin C; Ester-C
Is an antioxidant, helping to protect the body from oxidation, and free radical induced problems. Vitamin C performs numerous functions in the body including collagen formation, preventing breakage of capillary walls and neutralizing free radicals.
vitamin "C." Can be used as an acidic reducing agent in the removal of difficult metallic stains from underwater surfaces. Oxalic acid can be used in a similar manner.
Ascorbic acid is an antioxidant/oxygen scavenger that prevents oxidative flavour and colour deterioration. It is added to the grapes/fruit in the crusher/pulp stage along with potassium metabisulphite as well as after fermentation. Ascorbic acid supplements potassium metabisulphite but shouldn't replace it totally. It is more commonly known as Vitamin C.
Vitamin C, sometimes added sparingly to beer in later stages as an antioxidant.
(Vitamin C) A water-soluble, white crystalline vitamin present in citrus fruits, tomatoes, berries, potatoes and fresh, green leafy vegetables. It is essential for the formation of collagen and fibrous tissue for normal intercellular matrices in teeth, bone, cartilage, connective tissue and skin, and for the structural integrity of capillary walls. It also aids in fighting bacterial infections and interacts with other nutrients.
Anti-oxidizing agent strictly regulated by the EEC who impose a limitation of 150mg per litre of wine.
As a food ingredient ascorbic acid, commonly known as “vitamin Câ€, helps to prevent preserved food from going bad. Ascorbic acid is therefore widely used as an antioxidant (E 300). It is also used in flour standardization and flour improvement, since it increases the gas retention capacity and stability of the dough. In conjunction with the enzymes naturally present in the flour it acts like an oxidizing agent in this application. _Top of page
