The Reichstein process in chemistry is a combined chemical and microbial method for the production of ascorbic acid from D-glucose that takes place in several steps. [1] This process was devised by Nobel Prize winner Tadeusz Reichstein and his colleagues in 1933 while working in the laboratory of the ETH in Zürich.
Intravenous Ascorbic Acid or PAA, pharmacologic ascorbic acid [1] (also known as vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid), is a process that delivers soluble ascorbic acid directly into the bloodstream. It is not approved for use to treat any medical condition.
Ascorbic acid efflux by embryos of dicot plants is a well-established mechanism of iron reduction and a step obligatory for iron uptake. [a] All plants synthesize ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid functions as a cofactor for enzymes involved in photosynthesis, synthesis of plant hormones, as an antioxidant and regenerator of other antioxidants. [95]
Redoxon is the brand name of the first artificially synthesized ascorbic acid . [1] Redoxon was first marketed to the general public by Roche in 1934, making it the first mass-manufactured synthetic vitamin in history. [2] The brand is now owned by German pharmaceutical company Bayer and is sold in many countries. [quantify]
Ascorbic acid is easily oxidized and so is used as a reductant in photographic developer solutions (among others) and as a preservative. [citation needed] In fluorescence microscopy and related fluorescence-based techniques, ascorbic acid can be used as an antioxidant to increase fluorescent signal and chemically retard dye photobleaching. [14]
Diprogulic acid (also known as dikegulac) is a precursor used in commercial ascorbic acid production. [1] In agriculture, its sodium salt , dikegulac sodium , is used as a plant growth regulator , primarily used as a branching agent.
Formulated with polypeptide Matrixyl®️ Synthe'6®️ and plumping hyaluronic acid, this peptide serum works to enhance collagen production and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
An example of a mineral ascorbate drug is sodium ascorbate injections (the acid form, ascorbic acid, of vitamin c is too acidic for injections). Ascorbate salts may be better tolerated by the human body than the corresponding weakly acidic ascorbic acid. Ascorbates are highly reactive antioxidants used as food preservatives. [2]
