Sodium Diacetate

Sodium Diacetate Specifications & Parameters

Sodium Diacetate FCC Food Grade:
Sodium Hydrogen Diacetate
CH3COONa-CH3COOH-xH2O
C4H7NaO4-xH2O Formula wt, anhydrous 142.09
NS: 262 CAS 126-96-5

DESCRIPTION
Sodium Diacetate occurs as a white, hygroscopic, crystalline solid. It is a molecular compound of sodium acetate and acetic acid. One gram is soluble in about 1 mL of water. The pH of a 1:10 aqueous solution is between 4.5 and 5.0.
Function: Sequestrant; preservative; antimicrobial agent; mold inhibitor.

REQUIREMENTS
Identification: A 1:10 aqueous solution gives positive tests for Acetate and for Sodium.
Assay: Not less than 39.0% and not more than 41.0% of free acetic acid (CH3COOH), and not less than 58.0% and not more than 60.0% of sodium acetate (CH3COONa), calculated on the anhydrous basis.
Lead: Not more than 2 mg/kg.
Readily Oxidizable Substances (as formic acid): Not more than 0.2%.
Water: Not more than 2.0%.

We manufacture Sodium Diacetate also called Sodium Di acetate from virgin raw material by reaction. We tailor make it to suit the grain size as specified by the buyer.

SODIUM DIACETATE (diacetato de sodio, natriumdiacetat) has long been used as a food additive. Sodium Diacetate is a free flowing, dust free and readily available source of Acetic acid , the acid familiar to the housewives. Sodium Diacetate (E262) provides a solid source of acetic acid for use in dry products.

Food industry:

SODIUM DIACETATE is a generally recognized as safe ingredient (GRAS) by the US FDA, and is also a generally permitted food additive in Europe and elsewhere. The FDA's CFR 184.1754 limits the use of SODIUM DI ACETATE to levels not to exceed current good manufacturing practices, and specifically defines the levels of the material in various food applications.

SODIUM DIACETATE, usually in combination with lactates, is widely used by the meat packing industry as an excellent anti-microbial preservative. Vinegar taste on potato chips or tacos can be achieved by adding 0.1% sodium diacetate.
