- Abstract
Vitamin C (VC) is an essential nutrient that cannot be synthesized by the human body. Due to its extreme instability, various VC derivatives have been developed in an attempt to improve stability while retaining the same biological activity. One of the most important VC derivatives, 2-O- d-glucopyranosyl- l-ascorbic acid (AA-2G), has attracted increasing attention in recent years with a wide range of applications in cosmetics, food, and medicine. In this mini-review, we first introduce the types and properties of different VC glycosyl derivatives. Next, we provide an overview of the functions and applications of AA-2G. Finally, we discuss in-depth the current status and future prospects of AA-2G production by biotransformation.
