Hello everybody,
As we know sodium erythorbate/ascorbate is used as an antioxidant in meat products. I would like to know what happens for Na+ finally. can we claim that the ion can be harmful to human health and lead to blood pressure? Is there any document (Article) to support this idea?
Thank you
Sodium shouldn't be harmful to human health if it found in normal amount. The amount that exist in the meat products (processed meat) usually will not has high impact on blood pressure, human health. generally, there are no scientific report showed any effect towards human health.
It seems that due to the low dosage of this antioxidant in meat products (approximately 70 grams per 100 kg), the released sodium ions do not have a significant effect on the blood pressure of the consumer.
