Description

D-Isoascorbic acid is a sodium salt of ascorbic acid. It is used for the prevention and treatment of scurvy, which is caused by vitamin C deficiency. D-Isoascorbic acid functions as an electron donor in biochemical reactions and has been shown to have physiological effects. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a water-soluble antioxidant that can react with hydrogen fluoride in vitro to form free radicals that may cause damage to cells. In addition, D-Isoascorbic acid can be used as a model system for the study of ascorbic acid and p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The analytical method for determining these compounds involves electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
