Sodium ascorbate is one of a number of mineral salts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The main organic acids found in orange juice are citric, malic, and ascorbic acid. Antioxidants such as thiols or ascorbic acid (vitamin C) terminate these chain reactions. Electrolyzing the solution of potassium iodide produces iodine, which reacts with ascorbic acid. Endogenous nitrosamine formation can be inhibited by ascorbic acid. Antioxidants such as sulfite and ascorbic acid are sometimes used. They also contain moderate levels of carotenoids and ascorbic acid. It was made by citric and ascorbic acid from natural fruit extracts. Malic and ascorbic acids were the most abundant compounds. Potassium bromate acts more directly or with fewer chemical conversion steps than ascorbic acid. Scurvy can result from a lack of vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid. Reductions in calcium, phosphorus, iron and ascorbic acid were also found. Excretion can be as ascorbic acid, via urine. Nitrosamine formation in beet juice can reliably be prevented by adding ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid may also be added.
