The material specification is 'powder or crystals', which means it can vary from batch to batch. Ascorbic acid can donate electrons, facilitating the reduction of protons (H?) to hydrogen gas (H?). Its ability to undergo oxidation makes it a suitable candidate for these hydrogen evolution reactions. This product has not been tested internally for this application. Given the high purity of this material, it is likely suitable, but this would need to be determined by the end user.

General description
Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) acts as a potential anti-oxidant[6] and reducing agent.[7] It prevents bacterial mutagenesis induced by N-nitroso compounds.[8] In plants, vitamin C elicits several cellular processes such as growth, apoptosis, pathogen responses, hormone responses, flowering and senescence, and protection against environmental stresses. [7] Vitamin C deficiency is associated with the development of scurvy, prominent - gingivitis, perifollicular hemorrhages, poor wound healing, petechiae and ecchymosis.[2]

Under conditions that are optimum for DbetaH, ascorbic acid denatures serum albumin, gamma-globulin, catalase, and DbetaH. With ascrobate plus Cu2+, the proteins are almost completely destroyed. Pyrazole protects DbetaH and albumin, but not catalase. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is not denatured
