disodium 2-hydroxypentanedioate

Description:

Disodium 2-hydroxypentanedioate, also known as disodium malate, is a sodium salt of malic acid, characterized by its two sodium ions and a hydroxyl group attached to a five-carbon dicarboxylic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, making it useful in various applications, including food and pharmaceutical industries. It serves as a buffering agent and a flavor enhancer due to its mild acidity and ability to stabilize pH levels. The presence of two carboxyl groups contributes to its chelating properties, allowing it to bind metal ions, which can be beneficial in certain biochemical processes. Additionally, disodium 2-hydroxypentanedioate is recognized for its role in metabolic pathways, particularly in energy production and the Krebs cycle. Safety data indicates that it is generally regarded as safe for consumption, although, like any chemical, it should be handled with care to avoid excessive exposure.
