Sodium gluconate

Sodium gluconate (E576) - a food additive, acidity regulator, complexing agent designed to enhance the taste sensations.

This effect is achieved by increasing the sensitivity of the tongue receptors. It is a regulator of acidity and a synergist of antioxidants. Sodium gluconate is presented as a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in alkalis, acids, cold water and insoluble in alcohols. The natural source of sodium gluconate is gluconic acid, which is the product of the first oxidation of glucose.

As a complexing agent, sodium gluconate has the ability to bind excess iron, calcium and heavy metal ions, which is why it is successfully used in the food industry.

Application of sodium gluconate

In addition to applications in the food industry, sodium gluconate is used as a component of: Industrial detergents. Due to the combination of dispersing, complexing and anticorrosive properties, good solubility and stability in a highly alkaline environment, the substance is an excellent complexing agent for creating alkaline cultures. Detergents with the addition of sodium gluconate are used in the glass and dairy industries;
Descaling agents in the beer industry. Washing equipment and containers with a solution of sulfamic acid and sodium gluconate prevents the accumulation of calcium, eliminates traces of organic and mineral deposits on surfaces;
Additives in cement for the oil industry, as well as solutions for processing production wells.
In addition, sodium gluconate is widely used in metallurgy as a chelating agent that binds metal ions together, which allows precipitation to be easily removed during filtration. In the area of steel etching, sodium gluconate improves the condition of the metal, preventing the appearance of salt deposits on its surface.
