Iron and the antibotulinal efficacy of nitrite.

PMCID: PMC243214  PMID: 107856

Abstract

Combination of nitrite, isoascorbate, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid were compared for their antibotulinal efficacy in perishable canned cured meat. A dose response relationship of available iron to the antibotulinal efficacy of nitrite was demonstrated.
