Advantages of Sodium Dehydroacetate
Sodium Dehydroacetate is a high-performance, broad-spectrum preservative widely used across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. As a trusted supplier in the fine chemical industry, CHANCE delivers superior-quality Sodium Dehydroacetate with consistent performance, competitive pricing, and scalable supply.
1. Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Efficacy
Sodium Dehydroacetate is highly effective against a wide range of bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It inhibits microbial growth by interfering with DNA replication and cell membrane function — making it ideal for products requiring extended shelf life under varying environmental conditions.
2. Excellent Safety and Regulatory Profile
This compound is globally recognized for its low toxicity and excellent safety record. It is approved by regulatory authorities such as FAO/WHO, FDA, and EFSA for use in food and pharmaceutical products, which makes it a reliable preservative for applications requiring strict compliance.
3. Heat Stability and pH Tolerance
Unlike some preservatives that degrade under heat or pH fluctuations, Sodium Dehydroacetate remains stable under acidic and mildly alkaline conditions and during heat sterilization. This makes it especially useful in products like sauces, syrups, ointments, and creams that undergo thermal processing.
4. Compatible with a Wide Range of Formulations
Whether you're formulating a topical cream, beverage, cosmetic emulsion, or injectable solution, Sodium Dehydroacetate blends seamlessly due to its water solubility and chemical compatibility. It does not cause precipitation or destabilization in most emulsions or solutions.
5. Cost-Effective with Long Shelf Life
From a commercial standpoint, Sodium Dehydroacetate offers great value due to its extended shelf life, low required dosage, and minimal impact on product color, taste, or viscosity. Its effectiveness at low concentrations (typically 0.05–0.5%) ensures economic use in mass production.
6. Sustainable and Non-irritating Alternative
With rising demand for non-paraben, formaldehyde-free preservatives, Sodium Dehydroacetate is gaining traction as a clean-label alternative in cosmetic and personal care sectors. It is gentle on skin and eyes, making it ideal for sensitive formulations.
