Ascorbyl Palmitate and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Ascorbyl palmitate is a derivative of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) that is esterified with palmitic acid. It is used primarily as an antioxidant to prolong the shelf life of food and cosmetic products by protecting them from oxidation. Ascorbyl palmitate offers the benefits of vitamin C while also being fat-soluble, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications where water-soluble vitamin C would not be effective. It is recognized under the E number E304.
