“A modest but significant improvement in ascorbic acid status occurred in response to supplement and the riboflavin supplement enhanced the overall improvement in riboflavin status observed.”
“The present studies on the stored product pest Oryzaephilus mercator (Fauvel) reveals that in this Insect ascorbic acid can spare the activity of riboflavin as far as its survival and growth rate is concerned.”

“The 0.1% ascorbic acid treatments resulted in 50.0 and 25.5% inhibition of riboflavin reduction in whole milk and skim milk after 10 h fluorescent light illumination, respectively.”
“The ascorbic acid treatment effectively protected the photodegradation of riboflavin in both whole milk and skim milk, and its effectiveness is concentration dependent.”
