Disodium Succinate コハク酸二ナトリウム

In Japan

• No standards for use have been set. Its short names are “コハク酸ナトリウム” and “コハク酸Na” (sodium succinate) (the same as for monosodium succinate).
• When used to adjust taste it can be written with the group name “調味料（有機酸）” (seasoning (organic acid)), when used to add sourness “酸味料” (acidulant), and when used to adjust pH “pH調整剤” (pH adjuster).

Japan's standards for use

There are no standards for use that limit which foods or how much (the general standards for all additives still apply).

This is a summary of the standards for use. See the source list for the exact conditions.

In the EU

• It is not on the EU list of food additives (Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, Annex II), so it cannot be used as a food additive in the EU.
• The EU list contains succinic acid (E363); disodium succinate is not listed.

When it is labeled under a shared name

Disodium Succinate may be declared on the label in the same way as “調味料（アミノ酸等）”. See Seasoning (amino acids etc.) — e.g. MSG for details.
