Sodium Erythorbate is an ingredient which can be used as an antioxidant in various food systems such as meat, fish, beverages, fruit and vegetables. Chemically, it is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid which is recognized as GRAS by the US Food and Drug Administration. It is the structural mirror image of sodium ascorbate and is identical in antioxidant effect.

Eribate brand sodium erythorbate is produced by fermentation of corn sugar to meet the specifications outlined in the Food Chemicals Codex (F.C.C.). It is proven nontoxic in all applications. Because it meets F.C.C. specifications, Eribate is authorized by USDA for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.

In sausage, ham, bacon and other cured meat products, sodium erythorbate serves as a cure accelerator and stimulant to color development. In fresh meats, surface application or infusion of meat cuts with solutions containing sodium erythorbate and other additives has been demonstrated to extend color stability and shelf life.
