Description
White crystals, soluble in water, derived from vegetable sources. It is a natural occuring organic compound with anti-oxidant properties.
Generally packed in fibre or multi-wall paper drums. Used for colour fixing and as a preservative in food. If moisture is allowed to collect on the drum heads during transit, the crystals may become discoloured, and loose part of their potency due to oxidation.
