Sodium butanedioate (1:?)

Description:
Sodium butanedioate, also known as sodium succinate, is a sodium salt of succinic acid, characterized by its molecular formula C4H4NaO4. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water, making it useful in various applications. This compound is often utilized in biochemistry as a buffering agent and in the food industry as a flavor enhancer and preservative. Sodium butanedioate plays a role in metabolic processes, particularly in the citric acid cycle, where it serves as an intermediate. It is generally regarded as safe for consumption, but like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care to avoid potential irritation. The compound exhibits properties such as hygroscopicity, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, which can affect its stability and storage. Overall, sodium butanedioate is valued for its functional properties in both industrial and laboratory settings.
