Ascorbyl Palmitate cas:137-66-6, also known as L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate, is a synthetic lipophilic ascorbic acid derivative that offers numerous benefits for both the food and cosmetic industries. Not only does it serve as an excellent source of vitamin C, but it also acts as a potent antioxidant food additive (E number E304).

One of the key advantages of Ascorbyl Palmitate cas:137-66-6 is its ability to protect cells and membranes from oxidative damage. When combined with other fatty acid ascorbates, such as L-ascorbyl oleate and L-ascorbyl linoleate, it enhances solubility in non-polar (lipophilic) environments. This makes it an ideal choice for stabilizing oxygen-sensitive ingredients in cosmetic formulations, ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of your products.

But that's not all - studies have shown that dietary L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate is not only a source of tissue vitamin C in animals, but also possesses weak antiscorbutic activity in guinea pigs and enhances vitamin C nutriture in humans. Its effectiveness in reversing scurvy has been proven to be about 50% as effective as L-ascorbic acid (AA).

Furthermore, Ascorbyl Palmitate cas:137-66-6 has been found to be an effective preservative in foods and a dietary antitumor promoter in mice. Its versatility and wide range of applications make it a valuable addition to any product lineup.
