Products Description
Sodium dehydroacetate is a white to off‑white, odorless and tasteless powder. It dissolves well in water while showing low solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol. The compound features a melting point of 190 °C with outstanding light and heat resistance; its aqueous solution stays stable even after 2‑hour heating at 120 °C. Manufactured by spray‑drying technology, this powder delivers high purity of ≥98 %, low moisture content (≤2 %), and consistent performance. Its water solution is neutral to weakly alkaline.

Products Application
Sodium dehydroacetate is a broad‑spectrum, high‑efficiency food preservative and freshness‑keeping agent. It delivers potent inhibitory activity against molds, yeasts and bacteria. Benefiting from excellent light and heat resistance, it retains stable antibacterial performance across a pH range of 4‑8, making it widely applied for mold‑inhibition preservation in diverse food systems. Beyond food applications, it can also function as a preservative in skincare and cleansing formulations to suppress microbial growth.
