Product Overview

Erythorbic Acid (EVC) is a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid. It has similar solubility and antioxidant properties to Vitamin C, but its industrial value is more focused on food system antioxidant and color protection.

EVC is especially effective in preventing oxidative browning and color fading. It is widely used in meat products, fruits, vegetables, beverages and canned foods.

Key Product Characteristics

1.Powerful antioxidant effect, effectively restrain food oxidation

2.Excellent color protection performance, prevent discoloration of fruits, vegetables and meat

3.Good water solubility, easy to incorporate into aqueous food systems

4.Does not greatly change the original flavor of finished food

Main Functions

1. Food Grade Functions

1.1 Antioxidant: Suppress oxidation reaction, slow down deterioration of food.

1.2.Color Stabilizer / Color Retention: Prevent browning and color fading in meat, fruits and vegetables.

1.3. Shelf-life Extender: Protect food quality and prolong storage time.

1.4. Preservation Aid: Work together with preservatives to maintain food freshness.

2. Feed Grade ：

Used as antioxidant in feed formulations to protect raw materials from oxidation.

3. Pharmaceutical Grade

Applied as auxiliary antioxidant for specific pharmaceutical formulations.

Application in Food Industry

1.Meat & cured meat products: ham, sausage, bacon, to keep bright red color

2.Fruit & vegetable processing: canned fruits, frozen fruits, fruit puree

3.Beverages: fruit juice, carbonated drinks, wine

4.Canned food, pickled vegetables

Erythorbic Acid vs Vitamin C: Key Differences

Product	Similarity	Main Difference	Typical Focus
Erythorbic Acid (EVC)	Antioxidant properties, water solubility	Focuses on antioxidant and color protection in food systems	Meat, fruit, vegetable, beverage color protection
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)	Antioxidant properties, water solubility	Focuses on both antioxidant and nutrient fortification	Nutrition fortification + antioxid

Packaging & Storage

Packaging: Standard food grade packaging

Storage Condition: Store in cool, dry and dark warehouse. Keep sealed, avoid moisture, heat and direct sunlight.

Shelf Life: 24 months under proper storage
