EDTA disodium

Description

EDTA disodium salt, also known as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium, belongs to the chelating agent category, which is formed by chelating a central metal ion with four carboxylate groups and two amine groups. This compound, with its ability to bind and chelate metal ions such as calcium, magnesium and iron, is commonly used in a variety of applications, including industrial, medical and research settings. It is used as a preservative in food and beverage, as a stabilizer in medicine, as a chelating agent in water treatment, and as a reagent in biochemical and biomedical research. In addition, EDTA disodium salt has been studied for potential research effects such as improving heavy metal poisoning and cardiovascular disease.
