Erythorbic Acid: Our product information

Isoascorbic Acid: Antioxidant & Color Stabilizer for Food

Isoascorbic acid is a technologically important food additive used under the designation E315 as an antioxidant and color stabilizer. Chemically, it is an isomer of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with comparable antioxidant properties, but without relevant vitamin C activity.

The product is supplied as a white, odorless, and readily water‑soluble powder. Due to its antioxidant properties, isoascorbic acid is used in numerous food industry applications, particularly to stabilize color, flavor, and overall product quality.

Internationally, the compound is also known as Isoascorbic Acid and Erythorbic Acid.

Isoascorbic Acid Production: Manufacturing & Properties

Isoascorbic acid is produced industrially from carbohydrate sources through multi‑step synthesis processes. The resulting product is characterized by defined quality parameters and stable product properties.

Key properties include:

• crystalline powder with good storage stability

• high water solubility

• strong antioxidant activity

• good processability across various applications

• high product purity

This combination makes isoascorbic acid an established raw material for modern food formulations.

Isoascorbic Acid: Applications in Food

Isoascorbic acid is used across numerous areas of food production, particularly where oxidative protection and color stability are required.

Typical applications include:

• meat and sausage products

• fish and seafood products

• beverages and fruit juices

• canned foods

• frozen products

• bakery products

• pasta products

• dairy products

The use of E315 supports color and quality stabilization and helps minimize oxidative changes during processing and storage.

Isoascorbic Acid: Importance for Modern Food Concepts

Isoascorbic acid is an established component of modern food formulations and is used worldwide across many product categories.

Due to its antioxidant properties, the compound is particularly suitable for applications with high requirements for product stability, color retention, and sensory quality. Especially in meat and fish processing, isoascorbic acid is one of the most important antioxidants.

Internationally, erythorbic acid is a well‑established raw material in the food industry and part of numerous standardized production processes.
