Product Overview
Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid, produced by the fermentation of glucose. WIS Biotech (Shandong Wisdomesty Biotech Co., Ltd.) manufactures food-grade and industrial-grade sodium gluconate at our facility in Shandong, China, with an assay of 98.0–100.0%. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, valued for its excellent chelating power, biodegradability, and non-corrosive, non-toxic profile.
Sodium Gluconate Supplier and Manufacturer: Direct Procurement
Direct answer: WIS Biotech is a China-based sodium gluconate manufacturer and supplier for food-grade and industrial-grade orders. Procurement teams can source material against an agreed specification and request a recent batch COA, SDS, and applicable certification documents before placing a purchase order.
- Confirm the grade and end use: state whether the material is for E576 food formulation or for concrete, water-treatment, cleaning, or other industrial use.
- Lock the critical specification: confirm the 98.0–100.0% assay and the required limits for reducing substances, chloride, sulphate, heavy metals, and pH in the contract and batch COA.
- Define the commercial requirement: include packaging, trial and annual volume, destination port, delivery schedule, and target Incoterm in the RFQ.
- Check the document pack: request the current product specification, COA, SDS, and any food-safety, Halal, or Kosher documents required by your market.
For application-specific guidance, see the sodium gluconate concrete retarder guide. International buyers can also use the China gluconate sourcing checklist before sending a quotation request.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between food-grade and industrial-grade sodium gluconate?
Both share the same CAS number (527-07-1) and base chemistry, but food grade meets food-additive purity and documentation requirements (E576), while industrial grade is specified for concrete admixtures, cleaning, and water treatment. Confirm the grade and certificate of analysis your application requires when ordering.
What is the standard assay of your sodium gluconate?
Our sodium gluconate is supplied at 98.0–100.0% assay, white to off-white crystalline powder or granules, with a certificate of analysis provided per shipment.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order quantity is 1 MT, with samples available on request. Supply ability is up to 5,000 MT per month, FOB Qingdao.
Can you provide Halal and Kosher documentation?
Yes. We hold Halal (IFANCA, USA) and Kosher (OU) recognition and can provide the corresponding certificates with your order.
