Applications
THEASCORBIC ACID It is a preservative that, when added to wine, oxidizes by consuming dissolved oxygen; in this way it protects the wine by avoiding the oxidation of aromatic compounds (preserving the fruity aroma) and polyphenolic compounds.
THEASCORBIC ACID It prevents the oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III), which is why it avoids the blue cloudiness (blue boxes), even if its legal limit requires very limited treatment.
