Popular questions
  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.

  1. Ferrous lactate vs ferric orthophosphate, which is better?

    For iron fortification, ferrous lactate is generally more bioavailable and more soluble than ferric orthophosphate, but it can have more sensory impact. Ferric orthophosphate is less reactive with fewer taste/color changes, though it provides lower iron absorption.

  2. How many waters in ferrous lactate hydrate?

    Ferrous lactate is commonly supplied as the dihydrate, Fe(C3H5O3)2·2H2O. Other hydrates may occur depending on preparation and storage, but the dihydrate is typical in food use.

  3. How to add a bootable ssd in a levono e585?

    This is about a Lenovo E585 device, not the food additive E585 (ferrous lactate); please refer to Lenovo’s service manual for SSD installation and boot configuration.

  4. How to change apn settings on huawei e585?

    This pertains to a Huawei E585 hotspot, not the food additive E585; consult the device’s user guide or your mobile carrier for APN setup steps.

  5. How to change e585 hard drive?

    This appears to be about a device model (e.g., Lenovo E585), not the food additive E585; follow the manufacturer’s service manual for hard drive replacement.
