Sodium diacetate (CAS 126-96-5) is a white, crystalline powder that has a faint acetic - acid smell, similar to vinegar. It is highly soluble in water, which makes it easy to incorporate into various products. Chemically, it consists of sodium ions and diacetate anions. When dissolved in water or in food products, it can release acetic acid, which gives it many of its useful properties.
What is sodium diacetate used for?
In the food industry, it's a popular preservative. It inhibits the growth of bacteria, molds, and yeasts, extending the shelf life of baked goods, processed meats, and snacks. Outside of food, it's used in animal feed to prevent spoilage and maintain nutritional value. Additionally, it can act as a pH regulator in some industrial applications, like in the production of certain paints and coatings.
Is sodium diacetate safe?
Sodium diacetate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration when used within approved limits. It has been extensively tested, and studies show that normal consumption of products containing it doesn't pose significant health risks to humans. However, as with any food additive, excessive intake might cause mild digestive discomfort in some individuals.
Is sodium diacetate the same as vinegar?
No, sodium diacetate is not the same as vinegar. While both contain acetic acid, vinegar is a liquid mixture mainly consisting of water and acetic acid produced by fermentation.

Vinegar is often used for flavoring, while sodium diacetate is mainly used for its preservative and regulatory functions.
