Preferred Label : Gluconic Acid;
NCIt definition : The carboxylic acid formed by the oxidation of the first carbon of glucose with antiseptic
and chelating properties. Gluconic acid, found abundantly in plant, honey and wine,
can be prepared by fungal fermentation process commercially. This agent and its derivatives
can used in formulation of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food products as additive
or buffer salts. Aqueous gluconic acid solution contains cyclic ester glucono delta
lactone structure, which chelates metal ions and forms very stable complexes. In alkaline
solution, this agent exhibits strong chelating activities towards anions, i.e. calcium,
iron, aluminium, copper, and other heavy metals.;
