Usage

General Description

Disodium epoxysuccinate is a chemical compound that is used as a food additive and as a general-purpose emulsifier. It is commonly added to processed foods to improve their texture, appearance, and shelf life. It works by helping to blend together ingredients that would not normally mix, such as oil and water. The compound is considered safe for consumption and has been approved for use in food products by regulatory agencies such as the FDA. However, some people may have a sensitivity to disodium epoxysuccinate, so it is important for individuals to be aware of its presence in foods and to check product labels if they have any concerns about potential allergic reactions.

Method for production of epoxy compound and hydroxy iminodisuccinic acid

The epoxidation is carried out in a reaction system made of metal under conditions such that the inner surface area (S) of the reaction system exposed to the gaseous-phase part thereof and the amount of the reaction solution (V) in the reaction system satisfy the formula: 02 /m3). The epoxidation, otherwise, is carried out in a reaction vessel such that at least the inner surface thereof exposed to the gaseous-phase part thereof has been inactivated or in a reaction vessel such that at least the inner surface thereof exposed to the gaseous-phase part thereof has been inactivated. A hydroxy iminodisuccinic acid is produced by causing the epoxysuccinic acid which has been obtained as described above to react with L-aspartic acid. By this reaction, an epoxy compound can be produced with a high yield without inducing coloration by epoxidizing a corresponding ethylenic compound with hydrogen peroxide. By using the epoxysuccinic acid obtained as described above, hydroxy iminodisuccinic acid of high quality can be produced without inducing coloration.
