flavor enhancer, known as part number E-576 as a food additive, widely distributed in the food industry.Here, sodium gluconate is used as a flavor enhancer, the effect of which is based on increasing the sensitivity of receptors language when eating.Under current SanPiN, a substance considered safe for human health and is approved for use.It has excellent hygroscopicity.One hundred milliliters of water at 20 ° C completely dissolved 60 grams of the substance sodium gluconate.
harm from receiving food additive E-576 is that at high doses, its use can be shown what is known as "Chinese restaurant syndrome".It includes a set of symptoms, such as headache, feeling of heaviness, sweating and facial flushing.Less frequent inflammation of the throat, pain in the chest area, shortness of breath and heart palpitations.
Also specify the name of the substance is used more industrial designs under the name of sodium gluconate, sodium D-gluconate, sodium salt of D-gluconic acid.As a component indispensable sodium gluconate alkaline compounds.
main natural source for the substance acts as gluconic acid.When it interacts with alkalis formed sodium gluconate, the preparation of which in a manner accompanied by the release of various impurities in the form of carbonates.
Sodium D-gluconate as its source - gluconic acid - used to produce alkaline cleaning agents as agents of formation of metal cations.The fact that such a use of a substance extremely efficiently compared other complexing agents due to synergistic properties.
Sodium gluconate, thanks to such properties as hydrolysis resistance and biodegradability, acts as an active component of the various formulations of glass detergents, for example, in industries where cleaning is carried out bottles.Compositions containing as active ingredient the sodium gluconate effective molecular ultrafiltration of milk and whey accumulating for packagings intended for storage and transportation of milk products.
In the production of beer is often a process of growth of micro-organisms, which adversely affects the taste of the product.To prevent such a phenomenon is usually used washing solution vessel with sodium gluconate, and calcium accumulation in the vessel wall will be reduced or nonexistent.Cleaning of surfaces of various units and devices requires detergents with high concentrations.Such solutions can remove various organic as well as mineral deposits.
Another common trend is the use of compound production of building materials, namely concrete of different brands.Here, sodium gluconate, which is part of the concrete as a special additive, it provides increased ductility reduces the hygroscopicity and facilitates screeding technology at low temperatures.These properties make the sodium gluconate popular additive in the oil industry for well cementing.This is to protect the well from ground vibrations and corrosion.When these technologies are already the subject compound is injected directly into the cement to increase the penetrating effect.
as an element which effectively binds metal ions, sodium gluconate is used in the steel industry, the manufacture of various ferro alloys.The most effective action of its aluminum production.
