Notes
EDTA is used in food as a preservative to prevent catalytic oxidation by metal ions or stabilizer and for iron fortification. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a preservative in packaged foods, vitamins, and baby food. EDTA is used in prsonal care, added to cosmetics to improve product stability. EDTA is also used in oil production, added into the borehole to inhibit mineral precipitation. It's also used in the dairy and beverage industry cleaning milk stains from bottles. EDTA is used in flue gas cleaning removal of NOx, Soft drinks containing ascorbic acid and sodium benzoate, to mitigate formation of benzene (a carcinogen), and recycling recovery of lead from used lead acid batteries.
