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.
How does benzole peroxide reduce acne?
As a topical drug, benzoyl peroxide reduces acne by releasing oxygen that kills acne-causing bacteria and helps keep pores from clogging; as a food additive (E928) it’s used to bleach flour, not to treat acne.
How does benzole peroxide work?
In foods, benzoyl peroxide (E928) is a strong oxidizing flour-bleaching/maturing agent that whitens flour pigments and then breaks down mainly to benzoic acid and oxygen.
How to prevent bleached eyebrows benzole peroxide?
Because it’s a bleaching oxidizer, keep products away from hair/eyebrows, apply carefully, use a barrier (e.g., petroleum jelly) along the hairline, and rinse hands and any residue off promptly.
How to use benzole peroxide?
In food processing, small regulated amounts are uniformly blended into flour to bleach and mature it; for topical acne products, follow the label and start with lower strengths due to irritation and bleaching risk.
What store sells benzole peroxide shampoo?
Benzoyl peroxide is uncommon in human shampoos (it can bleach hair) and is mainly sold as acne washes at pharmacies or online; as E928 it’s an industrial flour-bleaching aid, not a consumer shampoo.
