Basic Information

Product Overview

Sodium Erythorbate, (CAS 6381-77-7, E316), also known as Sodium Isoascorbate or Iso-VC Sodium, is a white crystalline powder food-grade antioxidant. It effectively slows oxidative deterioration, inhibits enzymatic browning, preserves natural color and maintains freshness of food products. With high solubility, good thermal stability and excellent compatibility with other additives, it is widely used in meat products, seafood, beverages, canned foods and baked goods.

Character

Sodium Erythorbate is easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol. It has strong antioxidant capacity, effectively slows down the oxidation reaction of food, and preserves the original color and flavor of food. It has low reactivity and good compatibility with most food raw materials.

Main Functions

1.Color Retention & Browning Prevention Inhibits enzymatic browning and discoloration, helping meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables maintain natural fresh appearance.

2.Flavor & Aroma Stabilization Protects original flavor and prevents off-flavor formation caused by oxidation during processing and storage.

3.Synergistic Antioxidant Effect Works synergistically with citric acid, phytic acid and other chelating agents to enhance overall antioxidant performance at reduced dosage.

4.Nitrosamine Formation Control (Meat Applications) Helps reduce nitrosamine formation in cured meat products when used together with nitrite, supporting safer cured color development.

Applications

in food: Sodium Erythorbate is widely applied in meat and poultry, seafood, fruit juices, beverages, canned foods, baked goods and condiments. It acts as a food antioxidant to inhibit oxidation, prevent browning and discoloration, preserve original flavor and extend the shelf life of finished food products.
