Gluconic acid derivative anions are transported across the anion exchange membrane while the passage of neutrals are prevented.
The gluconic acid derivative anion is converted to its acid form once it has been transported into the concentrate or acid compartment by the addition of proton formed at a bipolar membrane.
As a further benefit, the acid catalyzed decomposition of gluconic acid derivatives and specifically KLG is avoided during evaporative crystallization or spray drying.

 Patent 6,541,034
Surprisingly, the use of gluconic acid delta-lactone or similar esters in a joint melt with the sugar alcohols has proven its worth, not only in preventing a possible crystallization but also in impeding the influence of oxidation and of the conditions for a saponification of sensitive active substances or liquid taste vectors.
A mixture of mannitol, sorbitol, and gluconic acid delta-lactone has been found to be particularly advantageous for the desired properties, with a relatively small amount of sorbitol of about 1 to 10% for 100 parts by weight of the melt, while mannitol can be employed in amounts of 50-80%.
C., and adding the gluconic acid delta-lactone only during cooling of this melt, while the heat of melting required to melt the gluconic acid delta-lactone is withdrawn from the molten mannitol-sorbitol mixture.

In two new four-week studies in rats, sodium gluconate was administered orally either by gavage at doses of 0, 500, 1000, or 2000 mg/kg bw per day or by feeding at doses of 0, 1, 1.25, 2.5, or 5% w/w (equal to 1000, 2000, and 4100 mg/kg bw per day).
EVALUATION On the basis of a re-evaluation of data previously considered by the Committee and new data on the short-term toxicity of sodium gluconate, the Committee extended the previous ADI 'not specified' for glucono-delta-lactone to a group ADI for glucono-delta-lactone and the calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium salts of gluconic acid.

The use of succinic acid in augmenting or enhancing the taste of foodstuffs is disclosed by Tonsbeek in U.S. Pat.
The weight ratio of aconitic acid; gluconic acid and/or succinic acid to sclareolide (when the sclareolide is used) may vary from about 1:99 up to about 99:1 with a preferred weight ratio of about 0.5:1.5 up to about 1.5:0.5 of acid:sclareolide.
When the amount of sclareolide is increased to ten parts by weight, only the aconitic acid, the gluconic acid and the succinic acid have definite effects on increasing the flavor enhancement in a two-fold amount (e.g., a value of "8" on a scale of 1-10 from a value of "4" on a scale of 1-10).

 Green Car Congress: Argonne Bioreactor to Deliver Chemical Feedstocks from Biomass
ADM and Argonne are very familiar with gluconic acid (and interested in the enzyme glucose-fructose oxidoreductase), and so selected it as the logical first organic acid target—not because it is on the top-12 list, but because the technology developed could be applied to the variety of organic acids and polyols that are.
Gluconic acid is produced by the biochemical oxidation of glucose.
The gluconic acid then ionizes on the resin wafer, and an electrical field pulls the ions through the membranes into a separate compartment, where they recombine into gluconic acid.

There was little accumulation of gluconic acid and therefore, no significant enhancement of mineral dissolution rates at 35 C compared to the abiotic controls.
At 20 C, gluconate accumulated in the experimental solutions only at the beginning of the experiment and led to a twofold increase in dissolved Si release compared to the controls, primarily by the ligand-promoted dissolution mechanism.
There was significant accumulation of gluconic acid in the 5 C experiment, which is reflected in a significant reduction in pH, leading to 20-fold increase in Si release, primarily attributable to the proton-promoted dissolution mechanism.

Thus, for example, nucleic acids which hybridize under high stringency to the nucleic acid sequences identified in the figures, or a complement, are considered DKGR sequence in one embodiment herein.
The Tm is the temperature (under defined ionic strength, pH and nucleic acid concentration) at which 50% of the probes complementary to the target hybridize to the target sequence at equilibrium (as the target sequences are present in excess, at Tm, 50% of the probes are occupied at equilibrium).
Thus,"percent (%) nucleic acid sequence identity"is defined as the percentage of nucleotide residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the nucleotide residues of the sequence shown in the nucleic acid figures.
