Acyl derivatives of glycosyl-L-ascorbic acids whichnhave a higher oil-solubility than L-ascorbic acid, glycosyl-L-ascorbicnacids, and inorganic esters of L-ascorbic acid such asnphosphates and sulfates of L-ascorbic acid. When administerednto living bodies, the acyl derivatives easily permeate intonliving tissues to release L-ascorbic acid, resulting in annexertion of the physiological action inherent to L-ascorbicnacid. Thus, the derivatives can be arbitrarily used in foodnproducts, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. |
