Ascorbyl Palmitate and the Dairy Free Diet
Ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C, created by combining ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with palmitic acid, a fatty acid. It is commonly used as an antioxidant in food and cosmetics to extend shelf life by preventing oxidation. While ascorbic acid is derived from plant sources, palmitic acid can be derived from both plant and animal sources, which is a consideration for vegans and vegetarians.
