Introduction
Sodium erythorbate (C 6 H 7 NaO 6 ) is a food additive used predominantly in meats , poultry , and soft drinks . Chemically, it is the sodium salt of Erythorbic acid . Sodium erythorbate is structurally related to Vitamin C and is an antioxidant. When used in processed meat such as hot dogs and beef sticks, it increases the rate at which nitrate reduces to nitric oxide , thus facilitating a faster cure and retaining the pink coloring. As an antioxidant structurally related to vitamin C , it helps improve flavor stability and prevents the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines . When used as a food additive , its E number is E316.The use of erythorbic acid and sodium erythorbate as a Food Preservative has increased greatly since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the use of sulfites as preservatives in foods intended to be eaten fresh (such as ingredients for fresh salads) and as food processors have responded to the fact that some people are allergic to sulfites.

Applications:
Sodium Erythorbate traditionally has two functions. First, it acts as antioxidant, controlling color and flavor deterioration in many food and non-food applications. Secondly, it is used as meat-curing accelerators, speeding and controlling the nitrite-curing reactions while prolonging color and shelf life. Applications include meat, fish, poultry, beverages, fruits and vegetables.
