Sodium erythorbate Description
MF:C6H7NaO6
MW:198.11
H&Z® Sodium erythorbate is a food additive used predominantly in meats, poultry and soft drinks. Chemically, it is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid. It is structurally related to Vitamin C and is an antioxidant. When used in processed meat such as hot dogs and beef sticks, it increases the rate at which nitrate reduces to nitric oxide, thus facilitating a faster cure and retaining the pink coloring.
As an antioxidant, it helps improve flovor stability and prevents the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines.

Sodium erythorbate Function:
H&Z® Sodium Erythorbate is mainly used in foodstuff industry, used as antioxidant, preservative and coloring agent, broadly used in meat food, fish food, beer, fruit juice, syrup crystal, fruit and vegetable tin, cake, dairy produce, confiture, sherry, pickles, and grease etc. the dosage to the meat foods is 0.5~1.0g/kg.
To the frozen fish, the fish should be infused in the 0.1%-0.8% water solution before freezing. The dosage in the beverage such as syrup is 0.01%~0.03%, apple and bechamel tin: 0.15g/kg (dosage of single or together with the VC), luncheon meat, cooked meat powder, cooked front leg pork, cooked ham, the dosage is 0.5g/kg (dosage of single or together with the VC and other sodium salt, counted the VC ), for the peach, apple jam: 2g/kg,for the fruit tin, it is 0.75-1.5g/l, for the nature syrup, it is 0.08-0.11g/l, for the beer, it is 0.03g/l (FAO/WHO(1977).
Sodium erythorbate Application:
Sodium erythorbate is important antioxidant in food industry, which can keep the color, natural flavor of foods and lengthen its storage without any toxic and side effects.
They are used in meat processing, fruits, vegetable, tin and jam etc. Also they are used in drinks, such as beer, grape wine, soft drink, fruit tea and fruit juice etc.
Sodium erythorbate Storage:
Sodium erythorbate must be stored in the warehouse of ventilation, dry and shady and cool, and cannot be mixed with poisonous. The temperature must be not higher than 30 Degree. Transportation is the same as storage.
