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 oxidationretain 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 GRASEFSAJECFA, 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.
