Crystal Ascorbic
Crystal ascorbic acid is coarse free-flowing L-ascorbic acid for dissolution into brines, beverages, and dough water where dust control and clean dissolving matter. Crystals meter well and leave little airborne fines compared with micro powders. Sharp sour taste confirms identity; grey or deeply yellowed stock may be oxidised. Dissolve fully before relying on antioxidant or dough-oxidant function. Seal against humidity and light.
