Fermented Carbohydrates (Natural Gluconic Acid and their salts)

Manufactured by fermentation of Carbohydrates where Gluconic acid and Gluconates are synthesized which help of Gluconobacter species.

  • Applications

    • Other salts like Calcium, Sodium, Potassium (Natural Sources) are combined with Gluconic Acid to form Natural Calcium Gluconate and so on.

      Enhances the shelf Life and maintains the pH of the food.

      pH Regulator and Acidity Controller

      • Helps maintain the desired acidity in food and beverages.
        • Used in dairy products, canned vegetables, and processed foods to enhance stability.

      Chelating Agent

        • Binds metal ions like calcium, iron, and magnesium, preventing unwanted reactions that could affect texture and appearance.
        • Helps prevent cloudiness in beverages and stabilizes food formulations.

      Leavening Agent in Baking

        • Works with baking soda to control the leavening process in baked goods like bread and cakes.
        • Ensures proper dough rising and enhances texture.

      Preservative and Antimicrobial Agent
