Ferric Sodium Edetate, as an important chemical substance, has a wide range of applications in various fields. It exhibits good stability under normal temperature and pressure conditions. It has suitable stability and dissolution properties, and after releasing Fe3+, the ligand ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) does not cause side effects or toxicity to the body, and is classified as "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS). Moreover, ferric sodium edetate can avoid interference with iron absorption caused by substances like phytic acid, and its iron absorption rate is 2 to 3 times higher than that of ferrous sulfate, with minimal impact on food color and taste.
To ensure the stability and effectiveness of ferric sodium edetate, the following storage conditions should be observed:
·Temperature: Ferric Sodium Edetate can be stored at room temperature, but high temperatures should be avoided to prevent changes in its chemical properties. It should also be kept away from heat sources to maintain its stable state.
·Humidity: Ferric Sodium Edetate should be stored in a dry environment, as high humidity may cause it to absorb moisture, clump, or deteriorate.
·Light: EDTA iron sodium should be protected from direct sunlight to prevent changes in its chemical properties due to light exposure. Therefore, storage containers should be opaque or light-blocking.
·Impurities: During storage, care should be taken to prevent moisture or other impurities from entering the EDTA iron sodium, as they may affect its purity and performance. After opening the container, the cap should be securely tightened immediately to prevent contamination.
·Packaging and Containers: EDTA iron sodium should be stored in clean, dry containers that are not made of materials that may react chemically with it. The containers should be well-sealed to prevent air and moisture from entering.
·Separation from Hazardous Substances: During storage and transportation, EDTA iron sodium should be stored separately from toxic substances to prevent chemical reactions or contamination.
When using ferric sodium edetate, ensure it is within its labeled shelf life to guarantee its effectiveness. If not used within the specified time, its performance may be reduced or it could pose unnecessary safety risks. Appropriate safety procedures should be followed when handling ferric sodium edetate, including wearing protective equipment such as gloves and safety goggles to prevent harm to the body.
Although ferric sodium edetate shows good stability under normal temperature and pressure, specific storage conditions are essential to ensure its stability and effectiveness. These conditions include controlling temperature, humidity, light exposure, preventing contamination, and selecting appropriate packaging and containers. Additionally, safety measures should be observed during usage and storage.
