Gluconic acid

Gluconic acid – substance of a natural origin. The rest of this acid in a fosforilirovanny formФормула глюконовой кислоты is one of intermediate products of carbohydrate metabolism in live organisms.

The natural way of formation of gluconic acid at oxidation of glucose is present at the most different products – beer, honey, etc. Also artificial ways of receiving gluconic acid are developed. For this purpose glucose is oxidized using glucose oxydas enzyme. Glucose oxydas as an industrial product is received from cultures of microscopic mushrooms. Some microorganisms are used directly in the course of receiving gluconic acid.

Use of gluconic acid

As a result of receiving gluconic acid in the artificial way the white or colourless crystals which do not have a smell and taste turn out. They are well dissolved in water, forming light yellow viscous solution.

Gluconic acid is used as nutritional supplement. It also designate E574, additive is allowed for use in Russia and the European Union countries. Basic purpose of gluconic acid – regulation of acidity and a loosening. Besides, she is a podkislitel, a kompleksoobrazovatel, strengthens effect of antioxidants.

As a podkislitel use of this substance is irrational. The matter is that on flavoring properties gluconic acid is weaker lemon by 5 times, and to giving to products of acid taste it is applied in exceptional cases.

With heavy Глюконовая кислота присутствует в пивеmetals, and also with calcium, iron gluconic acid forms well soluble compounds, showing, thus, properties of a synergism with antioxidants.

E574 nutritional supplement is easily acquired from a digestive tract and well transferred by an organism. It is capable to activate a metabolism and to increase operability of an organism. Very seldom gluconic acid is capable to have the irritating or laxative effect on intestines.

The amount of gluconic acid, greatest possible for its safe use, is definitely not established. A number of researchers reports that it is not necessary to use more than 50 mg/kg of this substance a day.

Except the food industry, gluconic acid is used in some other industries. With its help synthesize detergents, and it serves as a filler of tablets in pharmaceutical industry.
