Sodium Nitrate Used To Preserve Meats

Product Specification

Application

Sodium nitrate is a preservative found in processed meats, such as hot dogs, bologna, salami, ham and other deli meats. It prevents the growth of the bacteria that spoils meat and preserves the meat as a red or pink color. There is some evidence that it also prevents botulism, although nitrites are more likely to be involved in that process. Sodium nitrate, not nitrite, is used in curing country ham because of the long aging time required.
