Disodium succinate(CAS: 150-90-3)

Disodium succinate is a sodium salt of succinic acid, with the chemical formula C4H4Na2O4. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. This compound is commonly used as a buffering agent and chelating agent in various applications due to its ability to stabilize pH and bind metal ions.

Disodium succinate is widely used in pharmaceuticals as a stabilizer and pH buffer. It also finds applications in the food industry as a flavor enhancer and preservative. In industrial settings, it serves as a corrosion inhibitor and in research for metal ion chelation and buffer solutions.

Disodium succinate is generally considered safe when handled properly. It has low toxicity and is non-irritating to skin and eyes. However, protective measures such as gloves and safety goggles should be used during handling. It meets safety standards for use in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.

Disodium succinate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light. It is stable under normal storage conditions and should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage ensures its effectiveness and safety over time.
