introduction | sodium dehydroacetate is a broad-spectrum food preservative with strong antibacterial power, which has strong inhibitory ability to mold and yeast. Under the same addition amount, the antibacterial effect is higher than that of sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate several times or even dozens of times. What is particularly valuable is that it has little inhibitory effect on acid-producing bacteria, especially lactic acid bacteria. According to the relevant national standards and the US FCC recommendation, it is suitable for anti-corrosion and anti-mold of fermented bean curd, assorted pickles, pickles, sauerkraut, raw fruit juice, concentrated fruit juice, fruit wine, cheese, cream, margarine, yoghurt, lactic acid beverage, carbonated beverage, bean paste, bread, moon cake, cakes, sweet noodle sauce, canned food, condiment, health care products, cosmetics and other products. Especially for lactic acid beverages, kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles and other products that need to inhibit other harmful bacteria as much as possible but less beneficial lactic acid bacteria, |
use | sodium dehydroacetate is an antibacterial agent with high safety, wide antibacterial range and strong antibacterial ability. It is less affected by the pH value in food, and can maintain high antibacterial effect under acidic or slightly alkaline conditions. Its antibacterial ability is better than sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, calcium propionate, etc. It is an ideal food preservative. Preservative; Anti-mold agent. Used as food additive, preservative, fungicide |
content analysis | accurately weigh the sample about 500mg, move it into a 125ml conical flask, add 25ml glacial acetic acid, and contain 1 drop of glacial acetic acid solution containing 1% p-naphthol benzene pre-neutralized to blue. Titration with 0.1mol/L perchloric acid to original blue. 0.1mol/L perchloric acid per ml is equivalent to 19.01mg of sodium dehydroacetate (C8H7NaO4). |
toxicity | LD50 0.57 g/kg (rat, oral);LD501175mg/kg (mouse, oral). Can be safely used in food (FDA, 172.130,2000). |
use limit | FDA § 172.130(2000): chopped or skinned soft fish, 65 mg/kg. FDA,§ 180.159(2000,mg/kg): maximum residue, banana 30, peeled banana pulp 10, strawberry 65. Japan (calculated by dehydroacetic acid): cheese, cream, margarine 0.5 g/kg (0.61g of this product). GB 2760-2002: Soup (seasoning, instant soup), cakes (including cakes, moon cakes, fillings, etc.),0.5 g/kg. |
