  Not sure I understand your question.

  Did you mean antioxidant? 

  A good water soluble chelator is Sodium Phytate.

  I think any chelator would be a good substitute, since I am not aware that Vit. E works as a chelator.

  Guessing that works as the same concept of Vanilla browners…in which case you can use

  Sodium Metabisulfite

  or

  Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate

  But these should not be used without extreme care and caution.  Not for amateurs.

  Are they corrosive? Would I treat like I were using glycolic and SA?
