Abstract

ESPECIALLY noteworthy among the stabilizers of ascorbic acid solutions are sulphydric organic derivatives such as glutathione, thiourea, methylthiouracyl, cysteine1–3, 2-carbethoxy-mercapto-1-methylglyoxaline2,3, dithioglycerin, thioglycolic acid2, etc. On the other hand, acids have found application as agents reducing the rate of oxidation of ascorbic acid in solutions. Among these oxalic acid plays an important part. In 2 per cent and 1 per cent dilutions it is applied as a stabilizer of synthetic ascorbic acid in various solutions and of ascorbic acid in biological material.
