Ascorbyl Palmitate CAS 137-66-6 | Food Grade Oil Soluble Antioxidant Raw Material

Product Overview

BHA and BHT are restricted by regulations in many countries. Are you seeking compliant alternative antioxidants for oil systems?

Many overseas oil manufacturers, food processors and cosmetic producers face two major challenges. Traditional synthetic antioxidants BHA/BHT are gradually restricted by regional regulations. Ordinary Vitamin C is water-soluble only; it cannot dissolve in oil systems and decomposes easily under high-temperature processing, leading to oil rancidity and shortened shelf life of finished products.

Ascorbyl Palmitate, a heat-resistant oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative, is a popular clean-label solution in the global market. It possesses both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, delivers stronger antioxidant performance than traditional antioxidants. With high safety profile approved for infant food applications, it becomes the preferred raw material for manufacturers’ formula upgrading.
