What is Saccharate?

Saccharate refers to a salt or ester of saccharic acid (glucaric acid, HOOC-(CHOH)₄-COOH), a dicarboxylic acid formed by the nitric acid oxidation of glucose. Saccharates are formed when saccharic acid reacts with metals or bases to produce salts, or with alcohols to produce esters. Calcium saccharate is used as a food additive and in the production of gluconic acid derivatives.
