What is the core function of sodium diacetate?

Today, Jiangsu Aoruikai Food Technology Co., Ltd. will introduce the content of sodium diacetate to you. The core function of sodium diacetate is to rely on its unique molecular slow-release properties to achieve triple values of high efficiency, mold prevention and preservation, nutritional enhancement, and safe antibacterial effects in both food and feed fields. This is also the core reason why sodium diacetate has become a globally recognized green food additive.

The core basic function of sodium diacetate is broad-spectrum anti mold and anti-corrosion. Sodium diacetate slowly releases molecular acetic acid when dissolved in water. These free acetic acids can penetrate the cell walls of molds and bacteria, directly enter microorganisms to interfere with enzyme system operation, and cause protein denaturation and inactivation in cells. Sodium diacetate has a more stable control effect on common harmful bacteria such as Aspergillus flavus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Trichoderma viride than traditional benzoate preservatives, and its effect is almost unaffected by the pH value of the food itself. It can continue to function in acidic and neutral food environments.

The two core functions of sodium diacetate are nutritional improvement and efficiency enhancement. When sodium diacetate is added to feed in compliance with regulations, it can improve the utilization rate of protein in animal feed. Adding an appropriate amount of sodium diacetate to the diet of piglets, aquatic products, and cows can increase daily weight gain by more than 10% for piglets, increase fish population weight gain rate by 10%, and effectively increase the milk protein content of cows. Sodium diacetate will not excessively change the pH of feed like ordinary acidifiers, and can also improve feed palatability, steadily increasing animal feed intake.

The third core function of sodium diacetate is low toxicity, safety, and antibacterial. Sodium diacetate is a GRAS level safe substance recognized by the US FDA. After entering the human or animal body, sodium diacetate can fully participate in normal metabolism, and then decompose into carbon dioxide and water to be excreted from the body without producing harmful residues. The oral LD50 of sodium diacetate in mice is only 3.31g/kg, which is a low toxicity substance. Using sodium diacetate within the dosage range specified by the national standard will not cause any burden on human and animal health. This is also a key advantage for the rapid popularization of sodium diacetate in the food and feed industry.
