Ascorbic Acid E300 – Stabiliser
Supplied as a fine white to off-white powder.
Benefits:
- Is an economically effective anti-oxidant
- Reduces the susceptibility of beer to oxidation haze
- Increases the shelf-life of pasteurised and non pasteurised beers
- Prevents “papery” (oxidation) off flavours in the final product
Application:
Solutions of ASCORBIC ACID should always be freshly prepared and treated into the bulk of the beer without delay, if possible metering into the flow of beer to tank. Anti-oxidant treatment is more efficient when added before the beer has had contact with air, i.e. as soon as practica-ble after fermentation. Addition of the material prior to cold storage is common practice, in which case the anti-oxidant should be added when the tank is almost full to minimise contact with air.
