EDTA stands for Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and is one of the most important chelating agents in various industries, especially in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Its disodium form, Dissolvine NA, is one of the most common forms of this compound.

EDTA is generally a chemical compound with a complex molecular structure that strongly binds to metal ions and forms stable complexes. For this reason, it is known as a chelating agent. Chelating agents are substances that bind free metal ions in solution and prevent them from reacting with other substances.
