1. The advantage of Sodium Gluconate

1. Fast dissolution rate: It can dissolve quickly in water, which can improve production efficiency and product quality.

2. Antibacterial effect: It can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and extend the shelf life of food.

3. Moderate sweetness: Good taste, not cloying, and has a high sweetness.

4. Good stability: It can still maintain stability in high temperature and high humidity environments

 

• Main Application for Sodium Gluconate

1. Food industry: used as a sweetener and preservative in the production of candies, pastries, beverages, and other foods.
   

In the food industry, it is mainly used as an acidity regulator, chelating agent, stabilizer, and preservative, which has the functions of extending shelf life, improving taste and texture.

√ Acidity regulation and taste improvement
It can effectively regulate the acidity of food and enhance flavor stability.

For example, in beverages, baked goods, and seasonings, its acidity regulating function can enhance product flavor while improving texture. ‌
√ Metal ion chelation and antioxidant properties
As a chelating agent, it can bind with metal ions to prevent food oxidation and spoilage, and extend shelf life.

Its antioxidant properties can also reduce color changes in food, especially suitable for dairy products and canned foods. ‌
√ Preservation and preservation
By inhibiting microbial growth, it can extend the shelf life of food. Meanwhile, its acidic environment can reduce the risk of low sodium syndrome and comply with food additive safety standards. ‌
√ Other functions
In food processing, it can also supplement energy and body fluids, alleviate symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, but the dosage needs to be controlled to avoid adverse reactions.

2. Pharmaceutical industry: As a raw material for drug production, it can be used to prepare antibiotics, vitamins and other drugs.

√ Pharmaceutical excipients: As pH regulators, chelating agents, and stabilizers, they neutralize the acidity of drugs and extend the shelf life of injection solutions
√ Electrolyte supplementation: Used to correct hyponatremia or acidosis, and participate in energy metabolism
√ Anticoagulation: Chelated calcium ions exert anticoagulant effects and are suitable for hemodialysis
√ Mineral metabolism regulation: treats hypercalcemia or iron overload, promotes the excretion of harmful substances
√ Local treatment: used as wound dressing to inhibit bacterial biofilm formation
√ Radioactive detoxification: Combining radioactive isotopes to reduce bone deposition
Its high biocompatibility and safety (LD ₅₀>10g/kg) make it an important excipient for pharmaceutical preparations

     3. Construction industry: As a water reducing agent in concrete, it can improve the strength and fluidity of concrete.

√  Used as a water reducing agent

♦  Enhances workability

♦  Enhance strength

♦  Reduce cement content.

√  Used as a retarder, it can significantly delay the setting time of concrete

√  Used as a water quality stabilizer
Due to its excellent corrosion and scale inhibition properties, it is widely used as a water quality stabilizer.

♦  Has a significant coordinating effect

♦  The corrosion inhibition rate increases with increasing temperature.

♦  Strong scale inhibition ability:

It has a strong chelating ability for calcium, magnesium, and iron salts, so its scale inhibition ability is very strong, especially for Fe3+, which has excellent chelating effect and even works within the entire pH range.

♦  Eliminate public hazards. Using sodium gluconate as a corrosion and scale inhibitor for circulating cooling water to eliminate pollution

      4. Detergent: As an auxiliary agent, it can improve the cleaning power and stain removal effect of detergent

♦  Cleaning billions of glass bottles in the beverage, food, and brewing industries, such as soda bottles, beer bottles, milk bottles, canning bottles, soy sauce bottles, and wine bottles.

♦  Used as a surface cleaning agent for steel

 

• How to select Sodium Gluconate?

1. Check product indicators: it is necessary to understand the various indicators of the products, such as content, insoluble substances, pH value, etc.
2. Check product packaging: ensure that the purchased sodium gluconate is tightly packaged to prevent moisture or contamination of the product.
