Permanency of Synthetic Ascorbic Acid Added to Milk

Ascorbic Acid in Milk and Plasma of Bengali Women

L-ascorbic acid microencapsulated with polyacylglycerol monostearate for milk fortification.

Efficiency was examined of microencapsulating L-ascorbic acid by polyglycerol monostearate (PGMS), and changes in the chemical and sensorial aspects of L-ascorbic acid and/or iron-fortified milk during storage were evaluated. The selected core materials were ferric ammonium sulfate and L-ascorbic acid. The highest efficiency (94.2%) of microencapsulation was found with the ratio of 5:1 as the c...

Comparative analysis of ascorbic acid in human milk and infant formula using varied milk delivery systems

BACKGROUND The expression of human milk for later use is on the rise. Bottle systems are used to deliver the expressed milk. Research has shown that storage of both human milk and artificial baby milk, or infant formula, leads to a loss of ascorbic acid (commonly called Vitamin C). As milk is removed from the bottle during feeding and replaced by ambient air, it is unknown if loss of ascorbic a...

Loss of L-ascorbic acid in commercial drinking milk caused by milk processing and storage times.

The goals of this study were to determine L-ascorbic acid concentrations in various milk products, and to evaluate the effect of storage time on L-ascorbic acid in milk. Commercial plain milk samples were obtained from either a raw-food market or a supermarket, in Mae Hia, Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, during July, 2008. The types of milk were separated based on fat percentage...

Enrichment of fish eggs with ascorbic acid

Success in aquaculture depends on the mass production and quality of juveniles. However, many fish species suffered high losses during the early stages of development. Therefore, in order to decrease mortality, produce a large number of healthy larvae is a fundamental issue. On the other hand, one of the micronutrients that can be effective in larvae health is ascorbic acid. During the embryoni...
