[Galascorbine structure, studied by nuclear magnetic resonance]

The chemical structure of a galascorbine molecule was studied by the nuclear magnetic resonance NMR technique. On the basis of the obtained NMR spectra a conclusion was drawn than galascorbine is ester ascorbic acid and tannin hydroxycarbon acids. This finding was confirmed by the results of independent studies in the products of interaction between ascorbic and gallic acids.
