Sodium Erythorbate, also known as E316, Sodium Erythorbate or Sodium Isoascorbate, is a popular additive used in the food industry. It is a white to off-white crystalline substance with an almost irresistible taste. Its role in the food industry ranges from preserving freshness to enhancing the taste of food. E316 is an antioxidant, which means it can slow or prevent harmful oxidation that can lead to cell damage. Sodium Erythorbate is a healthier alternative to traditional preservatives because it contains no chemical ingredients.
Sodium Erythorbate is used a lot in the food industry, especially in meat products such as cold cuts, canned foods and frozen foods. Its ability to inhibit bacterial growth and promote rapid nitrogen excretion from meat makes it an ideal choice for sausage makers. E316 also improves the color and flavor of meat, giving the final product an attractive appearance and taste. Sodium erythorbate is also used in beverages such as energy drinks and soft drinks where it helps maintain a fresh and stable taste. Other food products that may contain E316 include canned fruits and vegetables, convenience foods and snack foods.
