ASCORBIC ACID (POWDER) (PRODUCTION RATE – 2000 TONS/YEAR)
[EIRI/EDPR/4579] J.C.: 2796US$
INTRODUCTION
Vitamin C also known as Ascorbic Acid (AA) is an essential nutrient in many multicellular organisms, especially in humans. Ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin and is found in variable quantities in fruits and vegetables and organ meats (e.g., liver and kidney). Deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy, widespread connective tissue weakness and capillary fragility. Among chemists, it is used as a reagent for the preparation of fine chemicals, enzymatic reagent and nanomaterials.
Consequently, the detection and quantification of ascorbic acid in food samples, products and nutraceuticals is receiving overwhelming importance among researchers, medical practitioners and also in the pharmaceutical and food industry.
Figure shows the schematic representation of the sources and multifunctional applications of vitamin C in the metabolism of our body.
Vitamin C is abundantly available in many natural sources, including fresh fruits and vegetables.
The richest sources of ascorbic acid including Indian gooseberry, citrus fruits such as limes, oranges and lemons, tomatoes, potatoes, papaya, green and red peppers, kiwifruit, strawberries and cantaloupes, green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, fortified cereals and its juices are also rich sources of vitamin C.
Amount of vitamin C in different sources
Vitamin C plays an important role in many physiological processes in humans. It is needed for the repair of tissues in all parts of the body. The important functions of vitamin C include the formation of protein used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels for healing wounds and forming scar tissue, for repairing and maintaining cartilage, bones, and teeth and aid in the absorption of iron. It can also act as a reducing and capping agent for metal nanoparticles.
Ascorbic acid acts as a reducing and capping agent for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles such as silver, gold, copper, etc. Ascorbic acid molecules can cap or surround the particle and prevent the uncontrolled growth of the particles to micron-sized dimensions.
One of the important properties of vitamin C is its antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity of vitamin C helps to prevent certain diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, common cold, age-related muscular degeneration and cataract.
It is intended to prepare a Feasibility Report to install an Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) production facility with a capacity of 2000 MT per year as a Green Field Project.
