Product Overview

VERSENE™ CA is a highly effective chelating and sequestering agent that forms stable complexes with free metal ions across a wide pH range, preventing unwanted reactions that can lead to product degradation. Naturally occurring heavy metals and elements in raw materials and processing water can initiate spoilage, rancidity, off-flavors, off-odors, discoloration, and degradation of vitamins and active ingredients at low concentrations. Calcium disodium EDTA in VERSENE™ CA binds with free metal ions like iron and copper, stabilizing and inhibiting reactions with fats, oils, microorganisms, and active ingredients. By limiting free metal ions, VERSENE™ CA improves product shelf life by reducing quality issues, lipid oxidation, and microbial spoilage. VERSENE™ CA outperforms citric acid, phosphates, and lactates in food applications, especially at acidic pH levels, making it a superior choice for protecting product quality and integrity.

Specifications

Appearance: White to off-white powder pH: 6.5–7.5 (1 wt% solution) Potency: 97.0–102.0 wt% as CaNa2EDTA·2H2O Bulk density: 640 kg/m3 Solubility: Water-soluble

Features & Benefits

  • Food-grade chelating agent: Forms highly stable complexes with metal ions, improving color, flavor, and texture retention.
  • Readily dissolvable in water: Easy to use and mix into various food and beverage applications.
  • Effective at very low concentrations: Provides benefits at low usage levels, reducing costs and minimizing impact on product taste and odor.
  • Imparts no odor, taste, or color: Does not affect product sensory characteristics, ensuring consumer acceptance.
  • Cleared by FDA for use in direct food and beverage applications: Ensures safety and regulatory compliance for use in various food and beverage products.
  • Kosher Pareve: Meets dietary requirements for kosher consumers, expanding market opportunities.
  • Works well across a wide range of temperatures, light, and pH levels: Provides consistent performance and benefits in various processing and storage conditions.

Applications

VERSENE™ CA is well suited for applications in neutral-pH to acidic conditions common in most food products. It also functions effectively in products or ingredients containing emulsions. Suitable applications include:
  • Dressings, sauces, mayonnaise, spreads, and margarine
  • Carbonated soft drinks, fermented malt beverages, and distilled alcohol beverages
  • Canned legumes, beans, and vegetables
  • Canned meat, including chicken, shrimp, crabmeat, and clams
  • Pickled vegetables
  • Spice extractives in soluble carriers
  • Color-additive mixtures
  • Egg products: hard-cooked, cylindrical-shaped, with outer white and inner yolk

Problems Solved

  • Color Fading: VERSENE CA helps retain vibrant colors in food and beverages, ensuring an appealing appearance.
  • Dressing Goes Rancid Quickly: VERSENE CA's chelating properties prevent metal ions from catalyzing oxidation reactions, extending shelf life and freshness.
  • Discoloration After Retorting: VERSENE CA minimizes discoloration caused by metal ions during heat processing, maintaining product appearance.
  • Off-Flavor Issues: VERSENE CA reduces off-flavors and off-odors caused by metal ions, ensuring a consistent and desirable taste.
  • Scaling Issues with Canning Equipment: VERSENE CA prevents metal ions from contributing to scaling and corrosion in canning equipment, reducing maintenance and downtime.
