- Known For
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.; Sodium acetate mixed with acetic acid forms a pH buffer, which can be used to stabilize 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.; Sodium acetate is used in combination with sodium diacetate and other acids as a flavoring agent in various meat products and ready meals. In all cases, it is advisable to carry out an initial trial, so that the precise effects on product characteristics can be determined.
