Sodium Ascorbate

Post by Leesel » Sun Jul 04, 2021 10:55

Hey All
After reading various threads here and further reading I thought I’d try adding sodium ascorbate to my next batch of salami.
I’d like to see how it effects the colour brightness and helps hold it for longer.

I’ve had a scout round the internet looking for uk suppliers for small quantities. Buying from food chemical companies seems out of the question as the minimum you need to buy is in such vast quantities and in some cases a minimum order of 100kg.

Buying from uk health food shops seems like the best option as you can buy in smaller quantities but I wanted to make sure I was buying the right product as a lot sold as Vit c.

This is the one I’ve opted for

Before I go a head and purchase this I thought I’d check with you guys.

Many thanks
Lee

That is the right kind. Try looking in spice stores.
You can also use use Sodium erythorbate. It does the same job and uses the same amounts as Sodium ascorbate.
