When we mix ascorbic acid (vit C) with bicarb soda, we get sodium acorbate,
which is SALT.
If you manage to get "no fizz" state that means that all the ascorbic acid
reacted with all the bicarb.
But... the result is still SALT. If it does not taste like salt than... what is
it ?? :-))
If you buy sodium ascorbate cristals (Source Naturals) professionally made they
DO taste very salty !
I also buy ULTRA PURE sodium ascorbate for IV - it is also salty.
So... what we are trying to put into LIPOSOMES is salt. If we mix it with
dissolved lecithin (this mixture will have salty taste) and than
put it into a US cleaner and we do NOT get salty taste this would mean that all
salt went into liposomes (unlikely that we
can get 100% efficiency).
The question I have been asking is HOW to measure that salt residual that did
NOT get into the liposomes ??
Am I making a mistake somewhere ?

Re- salt taste.
This may be why I detect no salty taste.
[From an earlier post]
After trying a few different ways to make Lipo-C,I settled on putting 3
tblspns
of Soy Lecithin in one cup of DW and let it sit at room temp.until Lecithin
was as fully in solution as possible.Then I put two[2] tspns of Ascorbic acid
in 1/2 cup of DW
plus one tspn of bicarb [1],let it fizz right down.If I see any sedimentation
on the bottom,then I tweak it by adding a pinch of Vit.C.,if it fizzes then I
add a bit more until no reaction.If the first pinch of C does nothing,then I
add a pinch of bicarb,if it fizzes then I repeat the process until no
reaction.I have found this to give me as close to 100% as you can hope for.In
my last four brews I had two with very slight traces of Leci. floating on
top.These seemed to be from larger sized granules.
When I measure the Lecithin I notice that the size of the granules do
vary.If I had a precise scale I would try doing it by weight, just to see.

I use the jewellry cleaner from Harbour Freight now.

Is anyone using sodium ascorbate crystals to make the Lipo C?
I've done the method Harold reports below and mine did have a slight salty
taste, so it might not have been as throughly encapsulated as his.
Trying to get a PH that would be better for a feline vs, the ascorbic C.

I do the ascorbic acid / bi-carb of soda protocol,and do not detect any
salt taste , only mild lecithin.The mix appears to be 100% in solution,except
at the odd times some few granules are not dissolved.This I attribute to the
inconsistency of the particle size, as volume is the measure I use,not weight.
