Jungbunzlauer Gluconates are multifunctional ingredients for food, personal care, pharmaceutical and technical applications. The product group consists of glucono-delta-lactone (GdL, the neutral inner ester of gluconic acid), sodium gluconate and some special gluconate based products like sodium gluconate EMF, gluconic acid and NAGLUSOL®. Mineral salts of gluconic acid, produced by Jungbunzlauer, are part of the Special Salts product group.

Jungbunzlauer's gluconates products are all characterised by excellent chelating and sequestering abilities and they find applications where these features are very useful e.g. as plasticising and retarding agents in the construction industry, for cleaners, metal treatment etc. The Glucono-delta-Lactone is a food acid with beneficial features like smooth pH development and neutral taste, forming a preferred additive for different foods like bread, mozzarella, seafood, meat, tofu etc.
sub4salt® is a mineral salt mixture based on rock salt or sea salt in combination with potassium chloride allowing sodium reduction up to 35%.
