e.Ascorbic (Ercobin)
e.Ascorbic – Vitamin C as effective oxidation protection in wine
e.Ascorbic is chemically pure L(+)-ascorbic acid (E 300) for use in enology. The product serves as a highly effective antioxidant and supports long-lasting aroma preservation in white, rosé, and sparkling wines.
Due to its reducing effect, e.Ascorbic protects sensitive bouquet components, maintains freshness, and supports a crisp, fruity style. Especially in low-acid wines and for UTA prevention (2-aminoacetophenone), vitamin C shows a stabilizing effect.
