Basic introduction to sodium gluconate

Thread Content

Sodium gluconate is a widely used sodium organic salt, appearing as a white or pale yellow crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water. It is primarily produced through biological fermentation, using corn starch as raw material and undergoing microbial fermentation and refinement. This product possesses excellent chelating capacity, retarding effect, and anti-corrosion properties, and it is non-toxic and biodegradable. In the construction industry, it is used as a concrete retarder and water reducer ； In the food industry, it is used as an acidity regulator and a quality improver ； In the metal surface treatment and textile dyeing industries, it serves as an efficient water treatment agent. At present, China has become the world’s largest producer of sodium gluconate. Key manufacturers include Shandong Kaixiang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Dongxiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Weifang Jianbao Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (the manufacturer of Wanshan sodium gluconate), and Shandong Baisheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. – these companies together dominate the global market supply.
