Sodium Erythorbate (E316) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Erythorbic Acid Sodium Salt
- Sodium Isoascorbate
- E316
- INS 316
Sodium erythorbate supplier for food, beverage, personal-care and related manufacturers in Malaysia. Also known as erythorbic acid sodium salt, sodium isoascorbate, E316 and INS 316, this water-soluble antioxidant is selected to slow oxidation and help retain colour in formulated products. It is not ascorbic acid and does not provide vitamin C activity.
Commercial material is typically a white crystalline powder that dissolves readily in aqueous process streams. Food-grade powder is the usual form for cured meat, processed meat, canned goods, frozen foods and beverage applications. Personal-care formulators may specify a suitable grade when a water-soluble erythorbate antioxidant fits the finished product.
In food and beverage work, sodium erythorbate is used where oxidation control and colour stability matter, including cured meats, canned products, soft drinks and fruit beverages. Buyers should state the application, assay or purity target and any packing or documentation needs so the correct grade can be quoted.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about sodium erythorbate
Is sodium erythorbate the same as ascorbic acid or vitamin C?
No. Sodium erythorbate is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid, a stereoisomer of ascorbic acid. It is used as food additive E316 for antioxidant and colour-retention performance and does not provide vitamin C activity. Request ascorbic acid separately if vitamin C is the required material.
What is E316 or INS 316?
E316 and INS 316 are the food-additive codes for sodium erythorbate. Food and beverage buyers commonly use these labels when specifying antioxidant or colour-retention requirements. State any assay, purity or application limit with the enquiry.
Which grade or form should I request?
Food-grade powder is the usual commercial form for meat, canned goods, frozen foods and beverage use. Personal-care formulators should state the finished-product application and any specification limits. Confirm packing and documentation needs with the quotation.
Where is sodium erythorbate used in food and beverage processing?
Typical uses include cured and processed meat, canned foods, frozen products, soft drinks, fruit beverages and other systems where oxidation or colour loss is a concern. Suitability depends on the recipe, process and required specification, so describe the application when enquiring.
What details are needed for a sodium erythorbate quotation?
Provide the grade, form, target specification, quantity, delivery location and intended application. List any preferred packing or documentation requirements so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
Can packing and product documents be confirmed with the quote?
Yes. Availability, pack format and supporting documents are confirmed with the quotation after the grade and specification are reviewed. Include those requirements in the enquiry rather than assuming a fixed pack or document set.
