1. Calcium acetate
Calcium acetate is the acetate salt of calcium with the chemical formula C4H6CaO4. Anhydrous calcium acetate is very hygroscopic, so the common calcium acetate exists as a monohydrate (Ca(CH3COO)2.H2O, CAS 5743-26-0.
2. Applications of calcium acetate
1. Used as a food stabilizer, chelating agent, mildew inhibitor, buffering agent, flavor enhancer, and a corrosion inhibitor; calcium acetate is also a good food calcium fortification agent, with better absorption than inorganic calcium. Can be used in infant food, the use of 33.0 ~ 6.0g/kg (in elemental calcium, the same below); 1.6 ~ 3.2g/kg in cereals and their products.
2. used in the manufacture of acetone, acetic acid, and polyester industry, also used in the synthesis of acetate.
3. used as an analytical reagent
3. Sodium acetate trihydrate
Sodium acetate trihydrate, CAS 6131-90-4, molecular formula C2H9NaO5, molecular weight 136.08.
Sodium acetate trihydrate is a colorless transparent crystal or white crystalline powder with an acidic odor. It is easily weathered in warm and dry air, and 1g is soluble in about 0.8ml water and 19ml ethanol.
4. Sodium acetate anhydrous
Sodium acetate anhydrous, CAS 127-09-3, molecular formula C2H3NaO2, molecular weight 82.03.
Sodium acetate anhydrous is a white crystalline coarse powder or lump. Relative density 1.528, melting point 324 degrees Celsius, very hygroscopic, 1g dissolves in about 2ml water.
5. Applications of sodium acetate
1. sodium acetate can be used as an esterification agent in organic synthesis, as well as photographic drugs, medicine, printing and dyeing mordant, buffering agent, chemical reagent, meat preservative, pigment, tanning leather, and many other aspects.
2. It can also be used to make various chemical products, such as furan, acrylic acid, acetate, chloroacetic acid, etc.
3. As a buffering agent of seasoning, it can moderate bad odor and prevent discoloration and has a certain anti-mold effect.
4. also used as an acidifier for seasoning sauce, sauerkraut, mayonnaise, fish cake, sausage, bread, sticky cake, etc. 5. Mixed with methyl cellulose, phosphate, etc., used to improve the preservation of sausages, bread, sticky cakes, etc.
