Ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. In pharmaceutical and food industries, ascorbic acid is used as an antioxidant to prevent oxidation and spoilage. The USP Ascorbic Acid standard ensures the quality and potency of ascorbic acid in various formulations.
The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.
