Tartaric Acid: Stereoisomer Selection

Tartaric acid has L, D, DL and meso forms. A generic product name does not identify the stereoisomer.

Monosodium Fumarate

Monosodium fumarate is an acid salt with different acid-base equivalents from fumaric acid and other sodium fumarates.

Potassium Malate

For potassium malate, specify potassium salt composition, hydration state and the corresponding malic acid stereochemistry.

Sodium Malate

Sodium malate is used for acidity and flavor control. Distinguish acid and neutral salts in the purchase specification.

Sodium Benzoate

Evaluate sodium benzoate for the intended food category. Preservative performance depends on pH and the food matrix.

Calcium Propionate

Evaluate calcium propionate for mold control in suitable applications such as bread. Check its effect on fermentation and the contribution of calcium ions.

Potassium sorbate

Potassium sorbate is commonly evaluated for preservation in acidic formulations. Processing history and packaging affect the result.

Benzoic Acid

Benzoic acid and sodium benzoate differ in water solubility. Verify addition method and acidity conditions separately.

Sodium Diacetate

Sodium diacetate contains acetate and free acetic acid. Evaluate flavor together with mold control.

Sodium Propionate

Sodium propionate adds sodium to the formulation, unlike calcium propionate. Account for the difference when comparing sources.

Sorbic Acid

Sorbic acid and potassium sorbate differ in solubility. Select the particle grade and addition method for the process.

Natamycin

Natamycin may be supplied on a carrier. Verify intended use, carrier and active content separately.

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

When selecting monosodium glutamate, specify purity, crystal form and sieve grade.

Disodium 5′-Ribonucleotides (I+G)

I+G is a blend of disodium flavor nucleotides. Specify the proportions of IMP and GMP.

Vanillin

Distinguish vanillin from ethyl vanillin. Production route and origin may affect customer declarations.

Mushroom Seasoning

Mushroom seasoning is a blend. Mushroom source, carrier, salt and flavor enhancers depend on the formulation.

Dietary Fiber and Functional Ingredients

Resistant dextrin

For resistant dextrin in fiber formulations, check feedstock, analytical method and solubility.

Dietary Fiber and Functional Ingredients

Polydextrose

Polydextrose may contribute bulk, texture and fiber. Commercial grades differ in acidity and residual components.

Sweeteners and Saccharides

D-Allulose

D-allulose is available in crystalline or syrup form. Its sweetness and response to heat differ from sucrose.

Dietary Fiber and Functional Ingredients

Xylo-oligosaccharides

XOS products contain xylo-oligosaccharides of different chain lengths. Purity and carrier influence the mass required in a formulation.
