Food Additive

This product is an important flavor and flavor intermediate, and also used as an intermediate for medicine and food additives. It can be used as flavoring agent and modifier for essence.

[plant source] rhizome and root of Valeriana officinalis L.Valeric acid is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid containing five carbon atoms. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a short-chain fatty acid and a straight-chain saturated fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of a valerate.

Ethyl formate is a formate ester resulting from the formal condensation of formic acid with ethanol. It has a role as a fumigant and a plant metabolite. It is a formate ester and an ethyl ester.

Sodium pyruvate is a kind of chemical substance that naturally exists in human body and participates in the metabolism of various tissues and organs. It is often used as the medium of cell culture as a source of energy. Sodium pyruvate is widely used as buffer, excipient and antioxidant in medical diagnosis and medical devices. In addition, sodium pyruvate can also protect cells from hydrogen peroxide damage, which has been confirmed by many other teams. Sodium pyruvate is also a good diet supplement for fitness and weight loss, which is widely used in food and feed.

There are three stereoisomers of tartaric acid: tartaric acid, L-tartaric acid and racemic tartaric acid. Racemic tartaric acid is a mixture of the same amount of dextrosome and levosome whose optical activity counteracts each other. Racemates do not exist in nature and can be synthesized chemically. All kinds of tartaric acid are colorless crystals which are easily soluble in water. Tartaric acid is widely used as an Acidifier in beverages and other foods, similar to citric acid. Tartaric acid and tannin can be used as mordant of acid dyes, as well as in some developing and fixing operations in the photographic industry. Its iron salt is photosensitive, so it can be used to make blueprints. Tartaric acid can complex with many kinds of metal ions and can be used as cleaning agent and polishing agent for metal surface. Potassium and sodium tartrate (Rochelle salt) can be used as ferin reagent, medicine, laxative and diuretic, and intermediate of cinchofen. The crystal has piezoelectric properties and can be used in electronic industry. Therefore, this product is mainly used in beverage, candy, bread and gelatin as sour agent, biochemical reagent, racemic resolution agent and pharmaceutical resolution agent.
