Sodium Gluconate(SG-A)

Introduction:

Sodium Gluconate also called D-Gluconic Acid, Monosodium Salt is the sodium salt of gluconic acid and is produced by fermentation of glucose. It is a white granular, crystalline solid/powder which is very soluble in water. It is non corrosive, non toxic, biodegradable and renewable.It is resistant to oxidation and reduction even at high temperatures. The main property of sodium gluconate is its excellent chelating power, especially in alkaline and concentrated alkaline solutions. It forms stable chelates with calcium, iron, copper, aluminium and other heavy metals. It is a superior chelating agent than EDTA, NTA and phosphonates.

Indicators:

Applications:

1.Food Industry: Sodium gluconate acts as a stabilizer, a sequestrant and a thickener when used as a food additive.

2.Pharmaceutical industry: In the medical field,it can keep the balance of acid and alkali in the human body,and recover the normal operation of nerve. It can be used in the prevention and cure of syndrome for low sodium.

3.Cosmetics & Personal Care products: Sodium gluconate is used as a chelating agent to form complexes with metal ions which can influence the stability and appearance of cosmetic products. Gluconates are added to cleansers and shampoos to increase the lather by sequestering hard water ions. Gluconates are also used in oral and dental care products such as toothpaste where it is used to sequester calcium and helps to prevent gingivitis.

4.Cleaning Industry: Sodium gluconate is widely used in many household detergents, such as dish, laundry, etc.
