2,3-Diketogulonic Acid Potassium Salt (Technical Grade) (Cat No.:C000968) is an organic compound. It is a white to off-white powder and is a derivative of gluonic acid. This potassium salt is primarily used in the production of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) through a fermentation process. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient and antioxidant in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and cosmetics. The technical-grade variant indicates a lower level of purity compared to pharmaceutical-grade chemicals.
