I-Sodium Gluconate ikwabizwa ngokuba yi-D-Gluconic Acid, i-Monosodium Salt yityuwa yesodium ye-gluconic acid kwaye iveliswa ngokubiliswa kweglucose. Yigranular emhlophe, icrystalline solid/powder enyibilika kakhulu emanzini. Ayidleki, ayinatyhefu, iyabola kwaye iyahlaziyeka.Ayixhathisi kwi-oxidation kunye nokunciphisa nakumaqondo obushushu aphezulu. Ipropathi ephambili ye-sodium gluconate ngamandla ayo agqwesileyo e-chelating, ngakumbi kwi-alkaline kunye ne-concentrated alkaline solutions. Yenza i-chelates ezinzile kunye ne-calcium, isinyithi, ubhedu, i-aluminium kunye nezinye iintsimbi ezinzima. Yi-agent ye-chelating ephezulu kune-EDTA, i-NTA kunye ne-phosphonates.
