Ascorbic acid, commonly known as Vitamin C, is a universally recognized essential nutrient with a wide range of applications across various industries. The specific grade of Ascorbic Acid used is crucial, as it dictates its purity, intended use, and the regulatory standards it must meet. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers high-quality Ascorbic Acid in Pharmaceutical, Food, and Feed grades, ensuring that each sector receives a product tailored to its unique requirements.

Pharmaceutical Grade Ascorbic Acid: This grade is characterized by the highest purity standards and is intended for use in medicinal products, dietary supplements, and medical applications. Pharmaceutical-grade Ascorbic Acid must comply with stringent pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, EP, BP) and undergo rigorous testing for impurities, heavy metals, and microbial contamination. Its applications include use as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in various medications, a crucial antioxidant in drug formulations to prevent degradation, and a key component in nutritional supplements designed for human health.

Food Grade Ascorbic Acid: This grade is produced to meet the safety and quality requirements for use in food and beverages. Food-grade Ascorbic Acid is widely employed as an antioxidant to preserve color, flavor, and nutritional value, and as an acidifier and flavor enhancer. It is also used for fortification, enriching food products with Vitamin C. While it requires adherence to food safety regulations, its purity standards are generally less stringent than pharmaceutical grade, though still very high, ensuring consumer safety.

Feed Grade Ascorbic Acid: This grade is formulated for use in animal nutrition, serving as an important additive in livestock and pet food. Ascorbic Acid in animal feed supports immune function, stress reduction, collagen synthesis, and mineral absorption in animals. Feed-grade Ascorbic Acid must meet specific industry standards for safety and efficacy in animal consumption, contributing to the overall health and productivity of livestock and companion animals. While purity is important, the regulatory framework differs from human food and pharmaceutical applications.
