Sodium nitrite is a colorless to yellowish hygroscopic powder widely used as a food preservative, pharmaceutical intermediate, and industrial reagent across meat processing, chemical synthesis, and laboratory applications. Its antimicrobial properties inhibit pathogenic bacteria growth, particularly Clostridium botulinum, while maintaining meat color and extending shelf life.
Highly soluble in water (freely soluble) with low density and 97–101% assay purity, it delivers precise performance in preservation and synthesis. Available in secure packaging with 2-year shelf stability, it supports quality and safety in food manufacturing and industrial operations.
| Sr. No. | Description | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purity | 98–99% |
| 2 | Chemical Formula | NaNO₂ |
| 3 | Form | Colorless to yellowish hygroscopic crystals or powder |
| 4 | Country of origin | India |
| 5 | Quantities | 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags with inner liners |
Colorless to yellowish crystals or powder; hygroscopic nature with moderate density and faint odor.
Freely soluble in water and soluble in ethanol; forms clear solutions with pH-dependent color reactions.
Molecular weight 69.00 g/mol; loss on drying (moisture) <0.25–1.0% depending on grade.
Chemically stable in normal conditions but hygroscopic; requires dry storage to prevent caking and moisture absorption.
Primary meat preservation agent in curing of processed meats, sausages, and deli products, inhibiting pathogenic bacteria.
Antioxidant in cured meats, preventing lipid oxidation, maintaining color, flavor, and extending shelf life.
Pharmaceutical intermediate and laboratory reagent in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry procedures.
Metal treatment, dye manufacturing, and industrial chemical synthesis as oxidizing/reducing agent.
Pharmaceutical/food grades available (IP/BP/USP compliant); low chloride, sulfate, and heavy metal content; tested for purity.
Hygroscopic compound; store in tightly sealed, dry containers in cool, well-ventilated areas away from moisture.
Non-toxic at food-approved levels but use appropriate PPE; avoid prolonged inhalation of dust and skin contact.
Shelf life 2 years when stored properly; handle with dry tools to minimize moisture uptake and maintain stability.
