Sodium Gluconate inonziwo D-Gluconic Acid, Monosodium Munyu ndiyo sodium munyu wegluconic acid uye inogadzirwa nekuviriswa kweglucose. Ichena granular, crystalline solid/hupfu inonyungudika mumvura. Haisi kuodza, haina chepfu, inogona kuparara uye inogona kuvandudzwa. Inoshingirira kuoxidation uye kudzikiswa kunyangwe pakupisa kwakanyanya. Chinhu chikuru che sodium gluconate ndiyo yakanakisa chelating simba, kunyanya mualkaline uye yakadzika alkaline mhinduro. Inoumba chelates yakagadzikana ine calcium, iron, mhangura, aluminium uye mamwe masimbi anorema. Iyo yepamusoro chelating agent kupfuura EDTA, NTA uye phosphonates.
