Membrane Permeabilities of Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbate [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2018 Vitamin C (VC)—a collective term for the different oxidation and protonation forms of ascorbic acid (AscH)—is an essential micronutrient that serves as (i) a potent antioxidant and (ii) a cofactor of a manifold of enzymatic processes. Its role in health is related to redox balance maintenance, which is altered in diseases such as obesity, cancer ...

Ascorbic Acid: The Chemistry Underlying Its Antioxidant Properties.
Free Radical Biology & Medicine, 2020 Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an unusual antioxidant in that it donates a single reducing equivalent, and the radical it forms, monodehydroascorbate, reacts preferentially with radicals instead of with non-radical compounds.

Encapsulation of ascorbic acid promotes the reduction of Maillard reaction products in UHT milk [PDF]
, 2016 The presence of amino groups and carbonyls renders fortified milk with ascorbic acid particularly susceptible to the reduction of available lysine and to the formation of Maillard reaction products (MRPs), as Nε-(Carboxyethyl)-L-lysine (CEL), Nε ...
