Product Description

Product Description

Sodium Erythorbate is a food-grade antioxidant and preservative, synthesized through the fermentation of glucose. As the sodium salt of erythorbic acid (a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid), it is widely used to prevent oxidation, retain color, and extend shelf life in food and beverage products. Sodium erythorbate is highly water-soluble and synergizes with nitrites in meat curing, reducing nitrosamine formation. It complies with FDA GRAS, EFSA, JECFA, and EU food additive (E316) standards.

• Antioxidant Activity: Inhibits oxidation of fats, oils, and pigments to prevent rancidity and discoloration.
  Nitrite Synergy: Enhances the efficacy of nitrites in cured meats while minimizing harmful byproducts.
  Color Retention: Preserves vibrant hues in processed meats, fruits, and beverages.
  Heat Stability: Maintains functionality in high-temperature processing (e.g., baking, canning).
  Clean Label: Non-GMO, allergen-free, and recognized as a safe alternative to synthetic antioxidants.

Beverages

Fruit Juices & Soft Drinks: Protects against browning and vitamin C degradation.
Alcoholic Beverages: Prevents oxidation in wines and beers.

Bakery & Snacks

Bread & Pastries: Delays staling and lipid oxidation in dough.
Fried Snacks: Reduces oil rancidity in potato chips and extruded products.

Canned & Frozen Foods

Canned Vegetables/Fruits: Maintains color and nutrient integrity during sterilization.
Seafood: Prevents discoloration in frozen shrimp and fish.

Pharmaceuticals
 
Vitamin Formulations: Stabilizes oxygen-sensitive active ingredients (e.g., vitamin C).
