Popular questions
  1. Is potassium sorbate a sulfite?

    No—potassium sorbate (E202) is a sorbate preservative, not a sulfite; E225 refers to sulfite salts such as potassium sulfite used as antioxidants/preservatives.

  2. 17. what forms when hydrochloric acid and potassium sulfite react?

    Acidifying potassium sulfite (E225) with hydrochloric acid releases sulfur dioxide (SO2) and produces potassium chloride and water.

  3. Amountof potassium sulfite to use when racking wine?

    Aim to maintain about 20–40 mg/L free SO2 (pH-dependent); winemakers usually use potassium metabisulfite, but if using potassium sulfite (E225), add an SO2‑equivalent dose to reach that target.

  4. Canon mf4350d system error e225 solution when i try to print?

    That “E225” is a printer error code and unrelated to the food additive E225, which is a sulfite preservative.

  5. E225 equals what in american money?

    E225 is a food additive code, not a currency amount, so it doesn’t convert to US dollars.

  1. Is ascorbic acid bad for you?

    No—ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is considered safe at typical food levels and is essential for health; it’s GRAS in the U.S. and approved in the EU. Very high supplemental doses can cause gastrointestinal upset and, in susceptible people, increase kidney stone risk.

  2. Can dogs have ascorbic acid?

    Yes, small amounts in foods are safe, but dogs synthesize their own vitamin C and usually don’t need supplements. High doses may cause diarrhea, so consult a veterinarian before supplementing.

  3. What is ascorbic acid made from?

    Commercial ascorbic acid is typically made from glucose (often derived from corn, wheat, or cassava) that’s converted via microbial fermentation and chemical steps into L‑ascorbic acid.

  4. How is ascorbic acid made?

    Industrially, D‑glucose is converted to 2‑keto‑L‑gulonic acid by fermentation (or via the older Reichstein process: glucose → sorbitol → L‑sorbose → 2‑KGA) and then chemically cyclized to ascorbic acid. Modern methods use two-step fermentation to improve efficiency.

  5. Is ascorbic acid the same as citric acid?

    No—ascorbic acid (E300) is vitamin C and an antioxidant, while citric acid (E330) is a different compound mainly used as an acidulant and does not provide vitamin C.
