Applications:

Sodium diacetate has some specific uses as a source of acetic acid in bread production. It is also used as a flavoring in dry products, particularly to impart the flavor of vinegar. It inhibits growth of certain types of mold and many deleterious micro-organism in dough and bread (notably Bacillus Mesentericus). It generally serves three purposes: as a pH control agent, as a flavor enhancer and as a microbial inhibitor.
SODIUM DIACETATE, usually in combination with lactates, is widely used by the meat packing industry as an excellent anti-microbial preservative. Vinegar taste on potato chips or tacos can be achieved by adding 0.1% sodium diacetate.
