Applications & Uses

Product Applications
  • Preservation
    Sodium acetate can be used to preserve processed meats and it is often used in combination with other acid based preservatives like lactates and propionates. The typical inclusion level is 0.2 to 0.5%. Sodium acetate is also used in salad dressings and ready-to-eat meals. The exact dosage levels and allowed applications depend on local legislation.
  • Acidity regulation (buffering)
    Sodium acetate mixed with acetic acid forms a pH buffer, which can be used to stabilise the pH of foods in the pH-range from 3 to 6. The table below gives indicative values of the composition needed to give a certain pH The mixtures below can be diluted at least 10 times with minimum effect on pH, however, the stability decreases.
