Certified Quality Vitamin C and Agra-C in Aquaculture Pure Vitamin C is unstable and when subject to feed processing of any sort it loses stability rapidly. Vitamin C is very unstable. It oxidizes rapidly when exposed to air and heat. Vitamin C is required by fish, as they lack the ability to synthesize this vital nutrient. Some Vitamin C is provided by dietary ingredients; however, supplemental Vitamin C is required under several situations. In supplementing Vitamin C to fish, adjustments must be made to accommodate for the losses that occur during feed processing and storage, and also losses that occur because of leaching of Vitamin C into water. Chemically and physically stabilized forms of Vitamin C exist to counter these losses of Vitamin C and are used extensively in the industry. The preferred form of Vitamin C to use depends on feed processing conditions and to the specie fed. For cold pelleting diets, Microencapsulated Vitamin C, which is physically stabilized using high quality microencapsulation technology, is preferred. Enzymes present in a feed matrix can cleave the phosphate groups off chemically stabilized Vitamin C and thereby lowering its overall stability. For steam pelleted diets, both technologies can be effective with the Microencapsulated Vitamin C providing more benefits especially for species such as shrimp with short gastrointestinal tract. For species with short gastrointestinal tract Microencapsulated Vitamin C is more bioavailable than chemically derived Vitamin C. This is because in chemically stabilized Vitamin C there is incomplete cleavage of the phosphate esters of the Vitamin C molecule which causes decrease bioavailability. In conclusion, Raw Vitamin C is unstable, loses its potency when subjected to feed processing, heat and air. It oxidizes rapidly. Microencapsulated Vitamin C is a stabilized form of Vitamin C that can withstand the rigors of feed processing and remains intact when fed. It does not leach out in water.
