Mytol: Where to buy Sodium Ascorbate

[Arthur Nichols]

I am out of sodium ascorbate for mixing mytol. I initially purchased it from Artcraft chemicals but the quantity is kind of small and I went through it pretty fast. I see that vitamin shops are selling sodium ascorbate in 3 lb containers. Can I use this? Is there any difference?
Thanksin advance.

You could call Mike at Artcraft and get a quote for a larger quantity.

It's a spice you can find at a lot of place online. It's also used when making sausages.
Try Sodium erythorbate, it's the same thing, different name. The Great American Spice Company has 16oz for $7.58

I have used food grade USP sodium ascorbate for Mytol and have not noticed any difference between it and the much more expensive ACS reagent grade.

Jason, Where do you buy yours?

I bought a 3lb container from an on-line vitamin store. I can't remember which one.

You can also make up Sodium Ascorbate from Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) and Sodium Bicarbonate: 1 part VitC to 2 parts S. Bicarb by weight; a ratio of 84:176 for the retentive; 1 tsp VitC to 2 tsps baking soda for the cooks among us.
