Sodium dehydroacetate is a safe, non-toxic, and highly effective preservative and food保鲜剂 that poses no harm to human health. In food, it gradually breaks down into acetic acid, which is naturally metabolized by the body without accumulating—thus ensuring it’s harmless to humans. Moreover, its use does not compromise the taste or flavor of food, and it remains unaffected by the food’s pH level. Additionally, it demonstrates exceptional stability under both light and heat, maintaining its original preservative efficacy even after being exposed to high temperatures of 120°C for 20 minutes.
Sodium dehydroacetate is a safe, highly effective, and broad-spectrum preservative approved by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization, and the 2024 edition of China’s GB2760 food additive hygiene standards. It effectively inhibits the growth of molds, yeasts, and various bacteria, helping to enhance food stability and, consequently, extend the shelf life of products.
