Processed

Encapsulated Ascorbic

Encapsulated ascorbic acid protects the vitamin from early moisture, metal contact, and oxygen so it survives extrusion, dry mixes, and delayed meat-cure or bakery release. Fat or specialty coatings open with heat or shear at the intended process stage. Choose coating melt profile to match bake or cook temperature. Broken encapsulation behaves like free powder and may brown or lose potency early. Costlier—use when free acid fails shelf or process targets.
