Overview of Erythorbic Acid



Erythorbic Acid, also called Isoascorbic Acid, is a water-soluble antioxidant used in suitable food and beverage formulations. It helps limit oxidation-related deterioration and supports colour retention in approved applications.

Food manufacturers use Erythorbic Acid for its reducing and antioxidant properties, particularly where oxidation affects product appearance, flavour or quality. Performance depends on the food matrix, oxygen exposure, processing conditions and packaging.

Erythorbic Acid is distinct from Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Erythorbate. Buyers should specify the correct ingredient and confirm its suitability for the intended food category and destination market.

Food & Beverage Manufacturing Applications of Erythorbic Acid



Processed Meat & Cured Meat Products


Erythorbic Acid can be used in permitted processed-meat formulations for antioxidant and colour retention functions. Meat processors should validate its performance within the complete curing system, considering product pH, processing conditions, packaging and storage.


Beverage Manufacturing


Beverage manufacturers can evaluate Erythorbic Acid in suitable, permitted formulations to help control oxidation-related changes. Trials should assess flavour, colour, ingredient compatibility and stability under the intended processing and storage conditions.


Processed Foods & Oxidation Control


Food-grade Erythorbic Acid supports antioxidant preservation in suitable processed foods. Its use should target a defined oxidation problem, with finished-product testing to establish the required performance and shelf life. Antioxidant protection does not replace microbial preservation controls.


Food Antioxidant Premixes


Ingredient manufacturers can incorporate Erythorbic Acid into application-specific food antioxidant premixes. Formulators should evaluate blend uniformity, moisture sensitivity, compatibility and dosing accuracy for the intended manufacturing process.



Erythorbic Acid Price & Bulk Supply



Erythorbic Acid price depends on the manufacturer, food-grade specification, assay, packaging, order quantity and delivery location. Share your manufacturing application and required volume to request current bulk pricing.

For an accurate quotation, provide your approved specification and confirm that you require Erythorbic Acid rather than Sodium Erythorbate. Include any manufacturer preference, documentation requirements and delivery schedule.

Confirm sample availability, minimum order quantity, packing options and lead time during enquiry. Regular buyers can share monthly consumption for repeat supply planning.



Why Choose Chemical Bull?



Chemical Bull supports food and beverage manufacturers with chemical raw material sourcing against defined technical and commercial requirements. Procurement, quality and R&D teams can request available manufacturer specifications, samples and documentation before approving bulk purchases.

We coordinate sourcing enquiries according to the required ingredient identity, grade, quantity, packaging and destination.



Erythorbic Acid COA, MSDS & Storage



Request the batch Certificate of Analysis, technical specification and Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS). For food manufacturing, confirm the applicable food-grade standard, assay, impurity limits, shelf life and supporting food-safety documentation.

Store in tightly closed original packaging in a cool, dry place, protected from heat, light and moisture. Minimise unnecessary air exposure and follow the manufacturer's recommended storage conditions. Prepared solutions require separate stability assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions



Where can I buy food-grade Erythorbic Acid in bulk in India?

Contact Chemical Bull with your food manufacturing application, approved specification, required quantity and delivery location to enquire about bulk Erythorbic Acid sourcing.


What details are required for an Erythorbic Acid price quotation?

Provide the food-grade specification, application, quantity, packaging preference and delivery location. Confirm the product name and CAS number 89-65-6 to distinguish it from Sodium Erythorbate.


Can I request samples, COA, SDS and MOQ details?

Enquire about available samples, batch COA, SDS/MSDS, technical specifications and supporting food-grade documentation. Confirm MOQ, packaging and estimated lead time with the quotation.


What is Erythorbic Acid used for in food manufacturing?

Erythorbic Acid is used as an antioxidant to help limit oxidation-related quality changes and support colour retention. Applications include suitable processed meats, beverages and food antioxidant systems, subject to applicable food standards.


Is Erythorbic Acid the same as Sodium Erythorbate?

No. Erythorbic Acid is the acid form, identified as INS 315. Sodium Erythorbate is its sodium salt, identified as INS 316. Their formulation effects differ, so substitution requires technical review and application testing.
