Tag: Solution stability

Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, is a highly reactive and unstable water-soluble molecule, with its stability in solution being a major challenge for many industries. Exposure to factors like light, heat, and certain metal ions can significantly accelerate its degradation, reducing its effectiveness as an antioxidant and nutrient. Understanding how these environmental factors impact the stability of ascorbic acid solution is critical for proper handling and storage.
