What is Ascorbyl Palmitate?
Ascorbyl Palmitate is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) that combines ascorbic acid with palmitic acid, a fatty acid. This combination results in a compound that retains the antioxidant properties of vitamin C while being more stable and less prone to degradation.
Vitamin C ester magic benefits
- Antioxidant Properties: Like vitamin C, ascorbyl palmitate has antioxidant properties, helping to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
- Stability: Ascorbyl palmitate is more stable than pure vitamin C. This makes it a common additive in food products and cosmetics to provide the benefits of vitamin C while maintaining stability.
- Uses in Food: It is used as a preservative and antioxidant in various food products to extend shelf life and maintain color and flavor.
- Uses in Cosmetics: Ascorbyl palmitate is often found in skincare products to help reduce signs of aging and improve skin texture and tone.
- Fat-Soluble: Ascorbyl palmitate is fat-soluble. This property allows it to be incorporated into lipid-based formulas and penetrate cell membranes more effectively.
Ascorbyl Palmitate’s Applications
- Food and Beverage: Acts as a preservative to prevent oxidation and rancidity, extending shelf life.
- Cosmetics and Skincare: Provides anti-aging, skin-brightening, and antioxidant benefits, enhancing the stability of formulations.
- Pharmaceuticals: These are used for Vitamin C supplementation and to stabilize drugs.
- Animal Nutrition: Preserves freshness and enhances nutrition in pet foods and animal feeds.
- Nutraceuticals: These are included in supplements for immune support and antioxidant benefits.
- Industrial: Stabilizes oils and fats in various non-food products.
Ascorbyl Palmitate Bulk Powder Manufacturing Process
- Preparation: Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Palmitic Acid are sourced and purified.
- Esterification: These acids are mixed and heated with a catalyst, forming Ascorbyl Palmitate through a chemical reaction.
- Purification: The product is purified by separating, washing, and crystallizing the Ascorbyl Palmitate.
- Drying: The purified compound is dried to remove moisture.
