Sodium Diacetate

Sodium Diacetate can be used as a flavouring agent to impart a vinegar taste to food products, for example, potato crisps. It effectively supplies free acetic acid in a solid form and can be used separately or in conjunction with other additives, and applied as a powdered seasoning. Sodium diacetate can also be used as a preservative and as a buffering agent to control the acidity of food. It is an accepted food additive under EC Directive 65/66 and subsequent amendments, and is a permitted food additive under FDA regulations in the USA, and in many other countries. Sodium diAcetate may also be used in non-food applications where it is advantageous to use a solid source of free acetic acid, e.g. for safer handling.
