Sodium Diacetate
Introduction
Sodium Diacetate has the chemical formula C4H7NaO4 with a CAS Number of 126-96-5. “SDA,” “Sodium hydrogen diacetate,” Sodium acid acetate,” or “Solid acetic acid” are synonyms of Sodium diacetate. It contains a combination of Sodium acetate and Acetic acid with short hydrogen bonds.
Molecular weight: 142.09 g/mol
Density: 1.01 g/cm3
Melting point: 323°C
Boiling Point: 117°C
Sodium Diacetate is a white, hygroscopic, crystalline solid with an Acetic acid odour and is easily soluble in water and Ethyl alcohol.
Sodium Hydrogen Diacetate is considered a safe, non-residual, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and non-teratogenic chemical. Its primary use is as a sour agent in seasoning products, an acid regulator in beverage products, and an anti-microbial agent in bakery products.
Sodium Acid Acetate Production
Vishnupriya Chemicals Private Limited manufactures Sodium diacetate with a well-qualified and experienced production team.
Sodium acetate and Acetic acid produce Sodium hydrogen diacetate, which involves a Hydrogen-bonding reaction.

Sodium Diacetate Uses:
Sodium Diacetate is a multifunctional edible chemical used as a food additive, food, and feed preservative, acidulant, sequestrant, pH regulator, chelating agent, anti-fungal agent, and dry vinegar substitute.
Food Industry: Sodium hydrogen diacetate is a pH control agent, flavour enhancer, and microbial inhibitor.
Sodium hydrogen diacetate acts as a primary flavouring agent. It acts as an adjuvant to enhance the flavor and aroma of the other ingredients in the recipe. It is a sequestrant to stabilize food colour, flavour, and texture.
Sodium hydrogen diacetate is primarily used as a mold inhibitor in baking. In the meat packing industry, sodium diacetate with lactate is an excellent anti-microbial preservative.
Sodium hydrogen diacetate is an anti-mold additive for food, feed, grains, and hay. It is mainly used for anti-mold preservation and improving nutritional value.
Agronomy: Sodium acid acetate indirectly enhances hay’s nutritional value by acting as an effective preservative.
Petroleum Industry: Sodium acid acetate is a buffer and stabilizer in petroleum production and drilling muds.
Other Uses:
→ Sodium hydrogen diacetate is used as a pH control in the foam and photographic industries.
→ Sodium hydrogen diacetate and Acetic acid solution are a buffer to maintain a relatively constant pH in biochemical applications.
Storage: Sodium hydrogen diacetate packed in HDPE and sealed bags are stored in a cool place below 40°C.
