Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

Pure Vitamin C (E300). High purity >99% crystalline powder. Essential food antioxidant, acidity regulator, and immune supplement. Wholesale supply.

Nutri Partners is a leading distributor of Ascorbic Acid Powder wholesale, universally known as Vitamin C (E300). Produced via fermentation (typically from non-GMO corn/glucose), this essential nutrient is the most widely used vitamin and antioxidant in the global market. We supply high-purity, crystalline powder that meets multi-compendial standards (BP/USP/EP/FCC), ensuring it is suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications where consistency and safety are paramount.

Key Features

  • Purity: Assay >99% (Food & Pharma Grade).
  • Mesh Sizes: Available in 40-80 Mesh (Standard crystals) and 100 Mesh (Fine powder) to suit different manufacturing processes.
  • Functionality: Acts as a potent antioxidant, acidity regulator, flour treatment agent, and preservative.
  • Solubility: Highly soluble in water, creating a clear, acidic solution.
  • Dietary Status: 100% Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Halal certified.

Applications

Ascorbic acid is ubiquitous across industries:

  • Food Preservation: Prevents enzymatic browning in cut fruits and vegetables. Used in meat processing (cured meats) to accelerate curing and prevent oxidation.
  • Beverages: Used to fortify fruit juices, soft drinks, and waters, adding a tart flavor profile and replacing vitamin loss during pasteurization.
  • Bakery: A key flour improver that strengthens the gluten network, improving loaf volume and texture.
  • Supplements: The cost-effective standard for Vitamin C tablets, effervescent powders, and immune support blends.
  • Cosmetics: Used in serums for its ability to brighten skin and stimulate collagen, often as a pH adjuster.

Technical Description: Ascorbic Acid Powder Wholesale

When sourcing Ascorbic Acid Powder wholesale, the particle size (Mesh) is the critical specification for production efficiency.

40-80 Mesh (Standard): Looks like table sugar. It flows very well in hoppers and is dust-free. Ideal for tableting and capsule filling.

100 Mesh (Fine): Looks like flour/icing sugar. Dissolves much faster in cold water. Ideal for beverage premixes or dry blends where rapid dispersion is needed.

Comparison: Unlike Acerola Cherry Powder, which provides natural Vitamin C with phytonutrients, Ascorbic Acid is a pure, isolated molecule. It is chemically unstable in solution (oxidizes quickly) and sensitive to metals (iron/copper), so formulators often use chelating agents to stabilize it.

Packaging & Logistics

Packaging: Standard 25 kg cardboard cartons with double PE liners (industry standard square boxes for easy palletization).

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid metal containers (iron/copper) which catalyze oxidation.

Samples: 100g samples available (please specify mesh size).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ascorbic Acid the same as Vitamin C?

Yes, Ascorbic Acid is the chemical name for the purest form of Vitamin C. Other forms include Sodium Ascorbate (buffered, non-acidic) or Calcium Ascorbate, which are salts of ascorbic acid used for people with sensitive stomachs.

How should I handle the product?

Ascorbic Acid is sensitive to light, heat, and moisture. Over time, if exposed to air, the white powder will turn yellow (oxidize). While slightly yellow material is often still safe, it indicates degradation. We pack in light-proof cartons to prevent this.

Is it natural or synthetic?

It is considered "nature-identical." It is produced through a bio-fermentation process (using bacteria) followed by chemical synthesis steps to crystallize the acid. It is chemically identical to the vitamin C found in an orange.
