Thermo C

Description

L-Ascorbate-2-Phosphate is beige, spray-dried powder consisting of a stabilized (phosphorylated) Na/Ca salt of L-ascorbic acid. Esterification of ascorbic acid at position 2 protects vitamin C from destruction by oxidation. It contains primarily the monophosphate ester of L-ascorbic acid, with very small quantities of diphosphate ester and traces of triphosphate ester. The L-ascorbate molar activity of the phosphorylated esters of vitamin C is equivalent to L-ascorbic acid.

Solubility

L-Ascorbate-2-Phosphate is practically insoluble in water, but dissolves easily in acids.

Uses

For animal nutrition in premixes and compound feeds where stability may be critical, e.g. in expanded, extruded or aggressively pelleted feeds.
