Usage

Description

Disodium epoxysuccinate is a chemical compound that functions as a food additive and a general-purpose emulsifier, enhancing the texture, appearance, and shelf life of processed foods by blending ingredients that are not typically miscible, such as oil and water.

Uses

Used in Food Industry:
Disodium epoxysuccinate is used as a food additive for improving the texture, appearance, and shelf life of processed foods. It facilitates the blending of ingredients that would not normally mix, such as oil and water, ensuring a uniform and stable product. Its safety for consumption has been recognized by regulatory agencies like the FDA, making it a widely accepted ingredient in the food industry. However, individuals with sensitivities to disodium epoxysuccinate should be mindful of its presence in food products and check labels to avoid potential allergic reactions.

Method for production of epoxy compound and hydroxy iminodisuccinic acid

The epoxidation is carried out in a reaction system made of metal under conditions such that the inner surface area (S) of the reaction system exposed to the gaseous-phase part thereof and the amount of the reaction solution (V) in the reaction system satisfy the formula: 02 /m3). The epoxidation, otherwise, is carried out in a reaction vessel such that at least the inner surface thereof exposed to the gaseous-phase part thereof has been inactivated or in a reaction vessel such that at least the inner surface thereof exposed to the gaseous-phase part thereof has been inactivated. A hydroxy iminodisuccinic acid is produced by causing the epoxysuccinic acid which has been obtained as described above to react with L-aspartic acid. By this reaction, an epoxy compound can be produced with a high yield without inducing coloration by epoxidizing a corresponding ethylenic compound with hydrogen peroxide. By using the epoxysuccinic acid obtained as described above, hydroxy iminodisuccinic acid of high quality can be produced without inducing coloration.
