Item #53006
Ascorbic Acid 1 ounce
Ascorbic acid has little effect on flavor unless used in large amounts. Ascorbic acid is usually added in modest amounts for its antioxidant properties. It's a good natural preservative because it prevents spoilage due to oxidation (stale flavor).

This is especially useful when added just before filtration, to protect from contact with air.
