Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, preventing oxidative stress and spoilage in foods. Its ability to donate electrons makes it an effective preservative against lipid peroxidation and discoloration in various products.

Apart from its preservative properties, vitamin C enhances immune health, aids in iron absorption, and supports skin health when incorporated into cosmetic formulations. Its stability under various processing conditions makes it a versatile addition to formulations that require antioxidant protection.
