Sodium Citrate Buffer, 0.5M, pH 5.5

Sodium Citrate Buffer, 0.5M, pH 5.5 is a metal chelator and buffering agent. Sodium Citrate Buffer, 0.5M, pH 5.5 requires oxygen to participate in the oxidation process to reduce pink defects in cooked ground turkey, and it does not function via heme iron chelation or iron complex interaction. When mixed with 50% (by vol.) 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methyl sulfate, Sodium Citrate Buffer, 0.5M, pH 5.5 can serve as an aqueous buffering medium to maintain the catalytic efficiency of the hyperthermophilic β-glycosidase CelB for lactose hydrolysis at 80°C, while also acting as a reaction medium for CelB-catalyzed lactose hydrolysis and galactosyltransferase assays.
