Sodium Erythorbate

Description: Sodium erythorbate is a white or yellow white crystalline powder or granules, odorless, has little salt, the melting point is over 200, it is rather stable when being dry exposed to the air, but in the water solution, when there is air, metal, heat and light, the oxidation will occur. It easily dissolves in water; 16g/100ml at normal temperature, hardly dissolves in ethanol, the PH value of 2% water solution is 5.5-8.0.

Which complies with the specifications of GB8273-87, FCC for food additives

 

Uses: Sodium Erythorbate is mainly used in foodstuff industry, used as antioxidant, preservative and coloring agent, broadly used in meat food, fish food, beer, fruit juice, syrup crystal, fruit and vegetable tin, cake, dairy produce, confiture, sherry, pickles, and grease etc. the dosage to the meat foods is 0.5~1.0g/kg.
