Sodium Erythorbate is a food additive used predominantly in meats, poultry, and soft drinks. Chemically, it is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid. When used in processed meat such as hot dogs and beef sticks, it increases the rate at which nitrate reduces to nitric oxide, thus facilitating a faster cure and retaining the pink coloring. It helps improve flavor stability and prevents the formation of fungus. After sulfates were banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration there was an increase in the use of Sodium Erythorbate as food preservatives. view less

Trisodium citrate is sometimes referred to simply as sodium citrate, though sodium citrate can refer to any of the three sodium salts of citric acid, it possesses a saline, mildly tart flavor. For this reason, citrates of certain alkaline and alkaline earth metals (e.g. sodium and calcium citrates) are commonly known as "sour salt". Sodium citrate is chiefly used as a food additive E331, usually for flavor or as a preservative. Sodium citrate is employed as a flavoring agent in certain varieties of club soda. Sodium citrate is common as an ingredient in Bratwurst, and is also used in commercial ready to drink beverages and drink mixes, contributing a tart flavour. view less
