Bioascorbic Acid
Beer Anti-oxidant
Product Information
Description
Bioascorbic Acid is Biocon's antioxidant specifically developed for use in beer. Bioascorbic
Acid, which contains sodium Iso Ascorbate as an active ingredient, has a very low Redox
potential and thus effectively removes oxygen from the beer.
Beer during storage undergoes gradual alteration, as small quantities of dissolved oxygen
results in oxidation of polyphenols and proteins causing undesirable flavours, aroma changes,
cloudiness and development of dark red colour. Bioascorbic Acid protects the beer against
these changes by effectively removing the dissolved oxygen.
Benefits
Bioascorbic Acid has several advantages over other reducing agents commonly used in
beer.
Application
Bioascorbic Acid is a free flowing powder that is readily soluble in cold water and can be
dosed in beer without any problem. Bioascorbic Acid should be dissolved in cold water @ 1
kg / 25 litres.
BIOASCORBIC ACID should be used in beer at the rate of 3 - 5 gms per Hectolitre.
Bioascorbic Acid may be dosed into beer directly in the Bright Beer Tanks.
Packing
Bioascorbic Acid is available in standard 25-kg polythene lined fibre drums but can be
custom packed on request.
