Food Grade Sodium Nitrite Description: Curing Agent and Preservative for Meat Products At Quimiconsult we offer BASF® food grade Sodium Nitrite, a yellowish-white crystalline solid powder with a minimum purity of 99.0 g NaNO₂ per 100 g, intended for the meat food industry. It is a hygroscopic compound that is very soluble in water, so it dissolves quickly and evenly in injection brines, curing solutions and premixes, and it is used mainly as a preservative and curing agent in processed meats and in the preparation of curing salts. Sodium nitrite is the ingredient that sets a cured meat apart from a merely salted one. It works through three simultaneous effects: it fixes the characteristic pink color of ham, sausages and bacon; it inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria, in particular Clostridium botulinum, the cause of botulism; and it delays fat oxidation, preventing rancid flavors and giving cured products their typical taste. No other additive combines these three functions in a…

Its hygroscopic nature allows it to attract and retain moisture from the environment, a property that makes it work as a humectant in foods, cosmetics and pharmaceutical formulations, preserving the texture, consistency and shelf life of the products it is added to. Unlike ethylene glycol, which is to…

Glacial Acetic Acid Description: Maximum-Concentration Natural Acidulant At Quimiconsult we offer food grade Glacial Acetic Acid, a clear, colorless liquid with a minimum acetic acid content of 99.8% by weight, produced to Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) standards and Kosher certified. It is the most concentrated and pure form of acetic acid, commonly known as the active ingredient in vinegar, obtained through distillation and purification processes that remove virtually all residual water. Hence the term "glacial," which refers to its tendency to solidify at temperatures close to 16.7°C when it reaches maximum purity. Glacial acetic acid is one of the most versatile short-chain organic acids available to the food, meat, pickling, bakery, sauce and industrial cleaning industries. Its mechanism of action as a preservative is based on lowering the pH of the medium to levels that inhibit the growth of bacteria, molds and yeasts, combined with the direct antimicrobial action of the undissociat…
