Sodium adipate has also been incorporated into the polymeric coating of hydrophilic monolithic systems to modulate the intragel pH, resulting in zero-order release of hydrophilic drugs.
The disintegration at intestinal pH of the enteric polymer shellac has been reported to improve when adipic acid was used as a pore-forming agent without affecting release in the acidic media.
Adipic acid is used to make bisobrin an antifibrinolytic.

Sodium adipate is registered under the REACH Regulation and is manufactured in and / or imported to the European Economic Area, at ≥ 100 to < 1 000 tonnes per annum.
Adipic acid is used by consumers, by professional workers (widespread uses), in formulation or re-packing, at industrial sites and in manufacturing.

Acidity Regulator / Buffering Agent - Changes or maintains the acidity or basicity of food/cosmetics.
Flavor / Flavoring / Flavor Enhancer - Provides or enhances a particular taste or smell.
Adipic acid occurs naturally in living cells, but is commercially prepared from the oxidation of cyclohexanol by concentrated nitric acid.
Small but significant amounts of adipic acid are used as a food ingredient (E355) as a flavorant and gelling aid.

Adipic acid is used in some calcium carbonate antacids to make them tart.
As an acidulant in baking powders, Hexanedioic acid, disodium salt avoids the undesirable hygroscopic properties of tartaric acid.
Hexanedioic acid, disodium salt, rare in nature, does occur naturally in beets, but this is not an economical source for commerce compared to industrial synthesis.
Adipic acid is approved to use as food additive in EU and generally recognized as safe food substance in US.

Hexanedioic acid, disodium salt is the sodium salt of adipic acid.
The function(s) performed by the food additive when used in cooking.
White odourless crystals or crystalline powder
Sodium adipate is a sodium salt of and adipic (hexanedioic) acid - a C6 dicarboxylic acid.
Hexanedioic acid, disodium salt is a colorless crystalline solid which is readily soluble in water and is effective as an acidity regulator and complexing agent.
The acidity regulatory property of sodium adipate finds many uses in pharmaceutical drug development.
In addition, sodium adipate is used as a stabilizer of PVC.

Sodium salt of adipic acid.
Adipic Acid is a synthetic food acid from nitric acid or from beetroot.
As Hexanedioic acid, disodium salt is synthetic using highly toxic petroleum hexanes, adipic acid would not be sensible to use this product on any long term basis.
Sodium Adipic is used as an acidity regulator.
Only a small amount can be metabolised by humans and is listed as having teratogenic properties, which is an abnormal congenital deformity in embryos.

Adipate is the salt product of a reaction between adipic acid and a basic, or high pH, compound.
A salt, in the chemical sense rather than the table salt meaning, is an ionic compound with no net charge that is formed when an acid reacts with a base.
An ionic compound occurs when a positively charged ion bonds with a negatively charged ion.
There are several forms of adipate with different compositions and uses.
Examples include the plastic additives Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) and dioctyl adipate (DOA), and the food additives potassium adipate and sodium adipate.

Adipic acid, from which adipate arises, takes the form of a white powder that is typically manufactured rather than found in nature.
Chemically, adipic acid belongs to the class of dicarboxylic acids, organic compounds that have two carboxylic acid functional groups.
A compound is organic if it contains carbon.
The chemical formula of adipic acid is (CH2)4(CO2H)2.
As an Adipic acid, when it is added to water, Adipic acid releases hydrogen ions, or charged hydrogen atoms, into the solution, giving it a lower pH and a sour taste.

In Adipic acids capacity as a food additive, adipate serves as an acidity regulator, or a pH control agent.
An acidity regulator is added to alter the acidity or basicity of a food.
Each acidity regulator has an E number listing.
Potassium adipate, which is the potassium salt formed from an adipic acid reaction, has the E number “E357” and sodium adipate, which is the sodium salt arising from an adipic acid reaction with a base, has the E number “E356.”
These compounds lend a sour flavor to foods and may be used as a gelling agent.

Sodium adipate may be prepared by reaction of adipic acid with sodium carbonate.
Also, the neutralization of sodium hydroxide with an ethanolic solution of sodium adipate adipic supplies.
