CAS 50-81-7

L(+)-Ascorbic acid

Description:

L(+)-Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin with the CAS number 50-81-7. It is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents. L(+)-Ascorbic acid is known for its strong antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. It plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis, aiding in the maintenance of skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Additionally, it enhances the absorption of iron from plant-based foods and supports the immune system. The compound is sensitive to heat, light, and air, which can lead to its degradation, thus requiring careful storage conditions. L(+)-Ascorbic acid is widely used in dietary supplements, food fortification, and cosmetic formulations due to its beneficial health effects. Its chemical formula is C6H8O6, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 176.12 g/mol.
