Definition and Usage Areas of Sodium gluconate
Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid and is produced by the fermentation of glucose. It is a white granular, crystalline solid, 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 feature of sodium gluconate is its excellent chelating power, especially in alkaline and concentrated alkaline solutions. It forms stable chelates with calcium, iron, copper, aluminum, and other heavy metals. EDTA is a chelating agent superior to NTA and phosphonates.
