Abstract

The first identification of vitamin C as such took place in 1931. This water-soluble, antiscorbutic vitamin has variously been known as "hexuronic acid", "cevitamic
acid", "cevalin", and "cebione". However , the present name given to it because of its anti-scurvy properties by Haworth and Szent-Gyorgyi, "1-ascorbic acid" , will apparently survive as its chemical name, particularly since that name has been adopted by the American Chemical Society, the American Medical Association, and the U.S.P.
