Stably formulated vitamin C created by the power of enzymes.
"Ascofresh" is a stable form of vitamin C created by binding glucose to ascorbic acid using Nagase Vita's enzyme technology. It is resistant to oxidation and decomposition caused by heat, light, oxygen, as well as amino acids and iron, allowing for collaboration with materials that were difficult to combine with conventional vitamin C. Upon ingestion, it undergoes hydrolysis by digestive enzymes in the small intestine, converting into vitamin C, which is then absorbed into the body and exerts its effects as vitamin C. 【Characteristics】 ■ Coloration of aqueous solution: It has high stability in aqueous solutions in the weakly acidic to neutral range, resulting in extremely low coloration due to heating. ■ Stability in the presence of metal ions: It is extremely stable under oxidative conditions with the presence of metal ions. ■ Stability in the presence of amino acids: It shows high stability and low coloration even in the presence of amino acids. ■ Long-term storage stability of aqueous solution: Aqueous solutions (weakly acidic to neutral) demonstrate higher stability compared to conventional vitamin C even after long-term storage, and exhibit similar stability to vitamin C in strongly acidic conditions. … and more *For more details, please contact us.
