Direct product answer
Food grade sodium diacetate is a molecular compound of sodium acetate and acetic acid, identified as INS 262(ii). In solution it provides acetate buffering and acetic-acid functionality, making grade composition and pH important procurement criteria.
Commercial suitability depends on the exact grade, source, test method, intended function and destination-market rules. The current signed specification and batch COA govern each transaction.
Buyer-intent guide
Use these qualification points when comparing a China supplier, manufacturer source, distributor offer, bulk quote or sample.
Request E262(ii) identity, free acetic acid, sodium acetate, moisture, pH and contaminant results on the COA.
Validate microbial hurdle design, flavor impact, process lethality, packaging and local maximum-use rules.
Evaluate dry vinegar flavor, acidity balance, hygroscopicity and blending uniformity.
Share quantity, pallet preference, destination port and whether 20 or 22 MT reference loading is required.
Application screening
These are formulation areas rather than universal approvals or dosage recommendations. Confirm legal use and performance in the complete finished food.
Supports acidity and preservation hurdles while contributing a vinegar note; validate in the full process.
Provides dry acetic-acid functionality and buffering in suitable sauce systems.
Used in dry vinegar-style flavor systems and powdered seasoning blends.
Can support mold-control programs where legally permitted and sensorially acceptable.
Evaluate pH contribution and compatibility with heat process and packaging.
May contribute acidity regulation and preservation in selected formulations.

Specification note: The table reproduces the supplied commercial limits. Codex provisions vary by food category and destination market; they are not universal dosage recommendations. Confirm the analytical method for free acetic acid, sodium acetate, moisture and oxidizable substances on the signed specification.
Technical selection
Free acetic acid and sodium acetate ratios influence acidity, flavor and buffering.
Preservative performance depends on the whole hurdle system, not sodium diacetate alone.
Pilot test vinegar intensity and any interaction with smoke, spice or savory notes.
Protect hygroscopic powder from moisture and confirm bag liner, pallet and warehouse conditions.
Qualification support
Request the current signed specification or TDS, SDS, test methods and representative or batch COA.
Verify applicable Kosher, Halal, ISO and food-safety documents for the exact grade, source and manufacturing site.
Review the Codex GSFA sodium diacetate record for identity context, then apply destination-market rules separately.
Storage and handling
Buyer questions
Sodium Diacetate is used in selected food formulations for preservative, acidity regulator and flavoring ingredient functions. Suitability, legal use and dosage must be confirmed for the exact finished food and destination market.
Sodium Diacetate is identified by CAS 126-96-5 and INS 262(ii). Confirm the exact supplied grade and current market rules.
The supplied reference minimum order quantity is 500 kg. Sample, trial and commercial availability should be confirmed for the selected grade.
The supplied reference packing is 25 kg paper bag or customer-requested packing. Confirm liner, pallet, marks and container loading in the quotation.
Provide the food application, target specification and test methods, quantity, particle or grade preference, destination, pallet requirements, certificates and requested delivery date.
