Abstract
The ascorbic acid (AA) is precipitated from press-juice with alkaline lead acetate, and liberated by HC1. From an acetone extract of the conc. fluid AA can be crystallized in 3 ways; 3 kgm. of pure AA were thus prepared. In dry recrystallized form AA is stable even at room temp.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
