Sodioglucosio

Sodioglucosio is not a widely standardized chemical name in English-language literature. In Spanish- and Italian-language sources, the term can be used to refer to different sodium salts related to glucose chemistry. Because the phrasing is ambiguous, it may denote either the sodium salt of gluconic acid or, less commonly, a sodium salt of a glucose-derived glycoside. There is no single, universally accepted compound assigned to the name in major chemical databases.

One interpretation is sodium gluconate, the sodium salt of gluconic acid. Sodium gluconate has the formula C6H11NaO7 and is produced by the partial oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid, followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide. It is a water-soluble white solid used widely as a sequestrant, buffering agent, and stabilizer in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It also serves as a chelating agent and a smoothing additive in detergents and cleaners. Its notable properties include good solubility in water, mild acidity, and relatively low toxicity.

A less common interpretation is a sodium salt of a glucoside, i.e., a sodium salt formed from a glucose-derived glycoside. Glucosides are a broad class of compounds in which glucose is bound to another molecule (the aglycone) via a glycosidic linkage. The specific properties, uses, and safety of such salts vary with the aglycone and the overall structure; they are not generally described under a single term like sodioglucosio.

In summary, sodioglucosio most often corresponds to sodium gluconate in practical usage, but the term can be ambiguous. For precise identification, the chemical name, formula, or CAS number should be specified.
