Ascorbitabs

This product is available in ascorbic acid tablets, providing this essential compound in a convenient tablet form. In dough preparation, ascorbic acid serves as a crucial reducing agent, preventing the weakening of the gluten structure. By oxidizing compounds like glutathione and non-gluten proteins, it enhances mix and proof tolerance, boosts loaf volume, and improves crumb structure. Our tablets are designed for ease of use and durability, are resistant to breakage, and disperse rapidly in water. Elevate your baking experience with this effective dough improver.

These tablets provide ascorbic acid in an easy-to-use form. In conventionally mixed doughs, ascorbic acid (a reducing agent) is oxidized by the oxygen in the air to dehydroascorbic acid. Evidence suggests that this dehydroascorbic acid oxidizes small thiol-containing compounds (e.g., glutathione, non-gluten proteins), thereby preventing them from weakening the gluten structure via the thiol-disulfide interchange reaction. Ascorbic acid is regenerated and available for further oxidation. This oxidizing action of ascorbic acid, combined with other "dough improvers," increases mix and proof tolerance, loaf volume, and improves crumb structure. These tablets resist breakage when handling yet dissolve rapidly.
