I-Sodium Gluconate ebizwa nangokuthi i-D-Gluconic Acid, i-Monosodium Salt ingusawoti we-sodium we-gluconic acid futhi ikhiqizwa ngokuvutshelwa kweglucose. Iwumbudumbudu emhlophe, i-crystalline solid/powder encibilika kakhulu emanzini. Ayigqwali, ayinabo ubuthi, iyabola futhi iyavuseleleka. Ayizwani ne-oxidation futhi iyancishiswa ngisho emazingeni okushisa aphezulu. Impahla eyinhloko ye-sodium gluconate ingamandla ayo e-chelating amahle kakhulu, ikakhulukazi kuzixazululo ze-alkaline kanye ne-alkaline egxilile. Yakha ama-chelates azinzile ane-calcium, insimbi, ithusi, i-aluminium nezinye izinsimbi ezisindayo. Kuyi-ejenti ephezulu yokuchela kune-EDTA, NTA namaphosphonates.
