Propanedioic acid, 2,2-dihydroxy-, sodium salt (1:2)

Description:
Propanedioic acid, 2,2-dihydroxy-, sodium salt (1:2), commonly known as sodium malate, is a sodium salt derived from malic acid. This compound features two hydroxyl groups and a dicarboxylic acid structure, which contributes to its solubility in water and its ability to form complexes with metal ions. Sodium malate is typically a white crystalline powder and is known for its mild, slightly tart flavor. It is often used as a food additive, flavoring agent, and in various pharmaceutical formulations due to its role as a buffering agent. In biological systems, it can participate in metabolic pathways, particularly in the Krebs cycle, where it plays a role in energy production. The compound is generally regarded as safe for consumption, but like many sodium salts, it should be used in moderation to avoid excessive sodium intake. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by pH and temperature, making it important to consider these factors in applications.
