Ascorbyl Palmitate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Ascorbyl palmitate is a lipophilic derivative of ascorbic acid with antioxidant and antiproliferative activities. It scavenges hydroxyl radicals in cell-free assays. Ascorbyl palmitate (0.01%) reduces the rate of autoxidation of soybean, safflower, sunflower, peanut, and corn oil. It inhibits increases in epidermal ornithine decarboxylase activity and DNA synthesis induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA; ) in mice in a concentration-dependent manner when applied topically. Ascorbyl palmitate (0.8 and 4 μmol per 200 μl of acetone, applied topically) reduces the number of tumors per mouse and the percentage of mice with tumors in a mouse skin two-stage model of tumor formation initiated and promoted by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and TPA, respectively. Formulations containing ascorbyl palmitate have been used as antioxidants and preservatives in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Chemical Properties
Ascorbyl palmitate is a white or yellowish-white solid with a soapy taste and a citrus-like odor. It is very slightly soluble in water but freely soluble in alcohol, animal oil, and vegetable oil. It melts at 107° to 117°C (around 234°F). Ascorbyl palmitate prevents oxidative rancidity development by quenching singlet oxygen. The ascorbic acid part of the molecule donates hydrogen (a reducing agent). This phenomenon is also called "oxygen scavenging".
