  • Title: Enhancing nitrite inhibition of Clostridium botulinum with isoascorbate in perishable canned cured meat.
    Author: Tompkin RB, Christiansen LN, Shaparis AB.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1978 Jan; 35(1):59-61. PubMed ID: 341810.
    Abstract:
    Addition of sodium isoascorbate to the formulation for perishable canned comminuted cured meat markedly enhanced the efficacy of nitrite against Clostridium botulinum. This effect was reproducible through a series of three tests. In one test it was found that the initial addition of 50 microgram of sodium nitrite per g plus isoascorbate was as effective as 156 microgram of sodium nitrite per g alone.
