Gluconic Acid Usage

Food & Beverage Industry:
- Acidulant & Flavor Enhancer: Delivers a mild, refreshing, and non-bitter acidic taste in dairy products, juices, baked goods, and sports drinks.
- Chelating & Mineral Mineralization: Forms highly bioavailable gluconate salts for mineral fortification.
Pharmaceuticals & Oral Care:
- Pharmaceutical Intermediates & Dental Care: Used as an active ingredient or pH regulator in pharmaceutical formulations, and added to mouthwashes/toothpastes to inhibit dental plaque and mineral calculus.
Industrial & Metal Cleaning:
- Industrial Chelating & Cleaning Agent: Excellent eco-friendly chelating agent for bottle washing, glass cleaning, metal rust removal, and industrial surface pretreatment under alkaline conditions.
Construction Chemicals: Used as a high-efficiency retarder and water-reducing agent for concrete. Extends the initial setting time of concrete, enhances its fluidity and later strength, and is suitable for construction in high-temperature environments.
