Manufacturing of Isoascorbic acid:

Isoascorbic acid can be produced by a reaction between methyl 2-keto-D-gluconate and sulphuric acid. 

Generally, the manufacturing process of Isoascorbic acid has 5 steps:

Producing calcium 2-keto-D-gluconate: food-grade starch hydrolysate fermentation by Pseudomonas fluorescens with calcium carbonate.

Acidify the above fermentation broth to obtain 2-keto-D-gluconic acid (2-KG).

Esterification 2-KG with methanol under acid conditions to yield methyl 2-keto-D-gluconate.

The synthesis of sodium erythorbate: heating the above suspension with sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate. 

The reaction between sodium erythorbate and sulphuric acid.

Manufacturing Methods of Isoascorbic acid:

Isoascorbic acid is synthesized by the reaction between methyl 2-keto-D-gluconate and sodium methoxide. 

Isoascorbic acid can also be synthesized from sucrose and produced from Penicillium spp.

Isoascorbic acid can also be prepared by reacting 2-keto-D-gluconate with sodium methoxide, synthesized from sucrose, or naturally produced by Penicililum species. Sodium erythorbate is prepared from D-glucose by a combination of biosynthesis and chemical synthesis via the intermediate 2-keto-D-gluconic acid.

Isoascorbic acid is produced by the fermentation of D-glucose to 2-keto-D-gluconic acid by Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria. 

The fermentation product is esterified and heated in basic solution to yield sodium erythorbate. 

Upon acidification of the salt in a water-methanol solution, Isoascorbic acid is formed.

Production Methods of Isoascorbic acid:

Isoascorbic acid is synthesized by the reaction between methyl 2- keto-D-gluconate and sodium methoxide. 

Isoascorbic acid can also be synthesized from sucrose, and produced from Penicillium spp.

Biotechnological Production of Isoascorbic acid:

Yeasts and other fungi synthesize the C5 sugar acid D-erythroascorbic acid which shares structural and physicochemical properties with Asc. 

D-erythroascorbic acid serves similar protective functions in these microorganisms as Asc does in plants and animals, including the scavenging of reactive oxygen species. 

The biosynthesis of D-erythroascorbic acid starts from D-arabinose obtained by the microorganism from decaying plant material. 

D-arabinose, presumably in Isoascorbic acid 1,4-furanosidic isomeric form, is oxidized by NAD(P)+ specific dehydrogenases to D-arabinono-1,4-lactone, which is further oxidized to D-erythroascorbic acid by D-arabinono-1,4-lactone oxidase. 

Resting cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can synthesize Asc from L-galactose, L-galactono-1,4-lactone, or L-gulono- 1,4-lactone via the pathway naturally used for D-erythroascorbic acid.

Purification Methods of Isoascorbic acid:

Crystallise D(-)-isoascorbic acid from H2O, EtOH or dioxane. is at 245nm with 7,500 (EtOH). 

Isoascorbic acid Used in various foods as water-soluble antioxidant to prevent change (color, taste, fragrance) of food occurred by oxidation. 

Isoascorbic acid is found in frozen seafood, fishery product, stock meat, stock fish sausage, fruit, vegetable, pickles, beverage, gerry pet food etc.

Isoascorbic acid is also used as Oxygen absorbers (Sponge cake, Confectionery), boiler oxygen scavenger, photographic developer, hair dye and reaction-catalyst in resin polymerization.

Incompatibilities of Isoascorbic acid:

Isoascorbic acid is incompatible with chemically active metals such as aluminum, copper, magnesium, and zinc. 

Isoascorbic acid is also incompatible with strong bases and strong oxidizing agents.

Isoascorbic acid, a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid with similar physicochemical properties, is widely used as an antioxidant in processed foods.

Isoascorbic acid or erythorbate, formerly known as iso ascorbic acid and D-arabo ascorbic acid, is a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid.

Isoascorbic acids chemical properties have many similarities with Vc, but as an antioxidant, Isoascorbic acid has the inimitable advantage that Vc do not have: 

First, Isoascorbic acid is superior to the anti-oxidation than Vc, therefore, mixed the Vc, Isoascorbic acid can effectively protect the properties Vc component in improving the properties have very good results, while protecting the Vc color. 

Second, higher security, no residue in the human body, participating in metabolism after absorb by human body, which can be transformed into Vc partially. 

Isoascorbic acid, an epimer of L-ascorbic acid, is used in the United States as a food additive. 

Studies were conducted to determine whether the ingestion of Isoascorbic acid in the diet had any beneficial or adverse effects on the human requirement for vitamin C. 

Young women were fed diets that contained controlled amounts of Isoascorbic acid and ascorbic acid. 

In pharmacokinetic evaluations, Isoascorbic acid and ascorbic acid were rapidly absorbed with little interaction. 

Isoascorbic acid cleared from the body more rapidly than ascorbic acid. Some subjects received diets deficient in vitamin C for periods < or = 30 d.  Increasing intakes of Isoascorbic acid or prolonged intakes of < or = 1 g Isoascorbic acid/d did not indicate any interactions with ascorbic acid.  Consumption of Isoascorbic acid resulted in the presence of Isoascorbic acid in mononuclear leukocytes.  Ascorbic acid concentrations in these cells were not affected by the presence of Isoascorbic acid.  Isoascorbic acid disappeared quickly from these cells with cessation of Isoascorbic acid supplements.  Prolonged ingestion of erythrobic acid by young women neither antagonized nor spared their vitamin C status. Storage of Isoascorbic acid: Isoascorbic acid should be stored in an airtight container, protected from light, in a cool, dry place. Stability and Reactivity of Isoascorbic acid: Reactivity: The following applies in general to flammable organic substances and mixtures: In correspondingly fine distribution, when whirled up a dust explosion potential may generally be assumed. Chemical stability: Isoascorbic acid is chemically stable under standard ambient conditions (room temperature). Incompatible materials: Strong oxidizing agents, Strong bases, Chemically active metals, Aluminum, Zinc, Magnesium, Copper Safety of Isoascorbic acid: Isoascorbic acid is widely used in food applications as an antioxidant.  Isoascorbic acid is also used in oral pharmaceutical applications as an antioxidant.  Isoascorbic acid is generally regarded as nontoxic and nonirritant when used as an excipient.  Isoascorbic acid is readily metabolized and does not affect the urinary excretion of ascorbic acid. The WHO has set an acceptable daily intake of Isoascorbic acid and Isoascorbic acid sodium salt in foods at up to 5 mg/kg body-weight.
