Popular questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Based on the lineweaver-burk plot provided, what type of inhibitor is dodecyl gallate and why?
I can’t see your plot; in a Lineweaver–Burk analysis, competitive inhibition shows lines intersecting at the y‑axis (same Vmax), noncompetitive at the x‑axis (same Km), and uncompetitive gives parallel lines—dodecyl gallate’s inhibition mode depends on the specific enzyme tested.
How to make lexmark optra e312 to print darker?
That refers to a printer model; in foods, E312 denotes dodecyl gallate, an antioxidant additive, which is unrelated to printer settings.
What causes e312 lennox?
That appears to be an HVAC fault code; in food labeling, E312 is dodecyl gallate, an antioxidant, and not related to equipment errors.
What is e312 gallate?
E312 is dodecyl (lauryl) gallate, the ester of gallic acid and dodecanol used as an antioxidant/preservative to protect fats and oils from oxidation.
What is e312 gallate used in?
It’s used to delay rancidity in fats, oils, and fat-rich foods (e.g., shortenings, bakery fats, some snack foods), sometimes alongside BHA/BHT or other gallates; permitted uses vary by country.
