PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ASCORBIC ACID-2-PHOSPHATE

摘要

A process for the preparation of ascorbic acid-2-phosphate, which comprises reacting ascorbic acid or araboascorbic acid with a phosphate donor other than ATP in an aqueous medium in the presence of an effective amount of an enzyme derived and capable of preferentially catalyzing the enzymatic phosphorylation in the 2-position of ascorbic acid or araboascorbic acid by said phosphate donor, and recovering the resultant ascorbic acid-2-phosphate from the reaction solution.
