Carboxymethyl cellulose ( CMC) or cellulose gum[ 1] is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups (-CH 2 -COOH) bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone. It is often used in its sodium salt form, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. It used to be marketed under the name Tylose, a ...
Saccharin, also called saccharine, benzosulfimide, or E954, or used in saccharin sodium or saccharin calcium forms, is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener. [ 1][ 5] Saccharin is a sultam that is about 500 times sweeter than sucrose, but has a bitter or metallic aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. [ 1]
Sodium erythorbate (C 6 H 7 NaO 6) is a food additive used predominantly in meats, poultry, and soft drinks.Chemically, it is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid.When used in processed meat such as hot dogs and beef sticks, it increases the rate at which nitrite reduces to nitric oxide, thus facilitating a faster cure and retaining the pink coloring.
Gluconic acid is an organic compound with molecular formula C 6 H 12 O 7 and condensed structural formula HOCH 2 (CHOH) 4 CO 2 H. A white solid, it forms the gluconate anion in neutral aqueous solution. The salts of gluconic acid are known as "gluconates".
Potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, chemical formula CH 3 CH=CH−CH=CH−CO 2 K. It is a white salt that is very soluble in water (58.2% at 20 °C). It is primarily used as a food preservative ( E number 202). [ 4] Potassium sorbate is effective in a variety of applications including food, wine, and personal-care products.
It is the sodium salt of gluconic acid. Its E number is E576. This white, water-soluble powder has a wide range of applications across industries. Originally derived from gluconic acid in the 19th century, Sodium Gluconate is known for its chelating properties and is utilized as a chelating agent in various processes.
Chondroitin sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) [ 1] composed of a chain of alternating sugars ( N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid ). It is usually found attached to proteins as part of a proteoglycan. [ 1] A chondroitin chain can have over 100 individual sugars, each of which can be sulfated in variable positions and quantities.
Benedict's reagent (often called Benedict's qualitative solution or Benedict's solution) is a chemical reagent and complex mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. [ 1 ] It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars. The presence of other reducing substances ...
