- It is identified by transparent, colorless, and odorless crystals.
- It is obtained as a byproduct of wine manufacturing.
- It acts as an emulsifier and pH control agent in food products.
-
Sodium Acetate:-
- It is an organic sodium salt.
- It contains acetate.
- ChEBI. Sodium Acetate is chemically designated CH3COONa, a hygroscopic powder very soluble in water.
- It could be used as additives in food, industry, concrete manufacture, heating pads, and buffer solutions.
-
Sodium nitrite:-
- It is an inorganic sodium salt having nitrite as the counterion.
