VERSENE™ NA USP, Powder

Food and USP grade powder with a PH of 4.0-6.0 and an assay level of 99.0%

Versene EDTA forms extremely stable complexes with metals across over wide pH range. EDTA binds with free iron, copper and other trace metal ions (as well as metals in a number of naturally occurring enzymes) to stabilize and not allow the metal ions to react. Although citric acid, phosphates, and lactates are sometimes promoted as chelant agents in food applications, they can’t match the performance of EDTA, particularly at acidic pH levels.
