Applications of Gluconic Acid 50%
Gluconic acid is a mild organic acid, finds applications in the food & industrial applications. It is natural constituent used in packaged or canned fruit juices, in the pickling of foods commonly used. Its inner ester, glucono-d-lactone imparts an initially sweet taste which later becomes slightly acidic used in Soy tofu, meat and dairy products.
In baked goods as a component of leavening agent. Sometime it is also used as a flavoring enhancing agent. The other technical uses of Gluconic acid are concrete, oil well drilling, metal treatment chemicals, leather tanning/finishing.
