Ascorbyl Palmitate is a heat-stable antioxidant recommended for food-grade applications to protect products from unwanted oxidation and the development of rancid odors and flavors. It is naturally derived and available as a water-insoluble white to yellow white solid powder.
Ascorbyl Palmitate (CAS No. 137-66-6) food-grade antioxidant from Camlin Fine Science is a lipid-soluble derivative of Vitamin C used as a natural alternative to synthetic phenols. It functions as a high-quality food additive to prevent auto-oxidation in food products and the deterioration of flavors and odors, extending the shelf life of products. This Ascorbyl Palmitate is insoluble in water and exhibits excellent heat stability. As a white to yellow white dry powder it is ideal for use in dry formulation systems and can be used in the formulation of products, such as bakery products, infant nutrition, nutritional supplements, cereals, snack foods, and more.

Primary Chemistry:
Ascorbyl Palmitate
Food products containing oils and fats often experience unwanted oxidative reactions, such as auto-oxidation, photo-oxidation, enzymatic oxidation, and ketonic oxidation, affecting the quality, odor, and taste of formulations. These oxidative reactions lead to the deterioration of nutrients for poorer nutritional quality of food items. Additionally, many antioxidants on the market are synthetic and physiologically unacceptable.
