Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate is a synthetic lipophilic ascorbic acid derivative. L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate is an effective preservative in foods and an effective dietary antitumor promoter in mice. Studies indicate that dietary L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate is a source of tissue vitamin C in animals. Besides, dietary L-Ascorbyl 6-palmitate possesses weak antiscorbutic activity in guinea pigs and enhances vitamin C nutriture in humans.
