  • Publication number: 20010003754
    Abstract: Liquid vitamin C concentrate compositions comprise a mineral ascorbate and a pharmacologically acceptable liquid organic polyol solvent for the mineral ascorbate, the concentrate having a pH between about 5 and 7. The concentrate may also contain an aldonic compound and/or a pharmacologically acceptable zinc compound. The concentrate compositions are prepared by heating the solvent to 50-90° C. and mixing the ascorbate and/or aldonic compound and/or zinc compound into the heated solvent, preferably in the absence of oxygen. These concentrate compositions are also characterized as a composition which comprises the reaction product of a mineral ascorbate and a pharmacologically acceptable liquid organic polyol solvent and, optionally an aldonic compound and/or a soluble non-toxic zinc compound, which reaction product includes 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone and/or 3-hydroxy kojic acid.
