Sodium Valerate is an organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)3COONa.
It is a white crystalline or granular substance that is soluble in water.
Sodium valerate has two main uses. First, in chemistry laboratories, it is often used as a component of neutral laboratory buffers to control the pH of solutions.
Secondly, sodium valerate can also be used in the preparation of pharmaceutical and food additives.
In the field of medicine, it can be used to regulate the pH of drugs and improve the stability and solubility of drugs.
In the food industry, sodium valerate can be used as a preservative and flavoring agent for food.
The preparation of sodium valerate is usually obtained by reacting valerate with sodium hydroxide.
First, the valerate acid is dissolved in an appropriate amount of water, and then the sodium hydroxide solution is slowly added,
and after the reaction is completed, the pure sodium valerate crystal is filtered.
The preparation process should be safe, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid inhaling its dust.
The safety of sodium valerate is relatively good. It will not cause harm to the human body under normal conditions,
but it is still necessary to pay attention to safe operation when using
avoid contact with the skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
In case of accidental contact, wash immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
In addition, storage should be placed in a dry, ventilated, dark place, away from fire sources and oxidants.
