Calcium disodium edetate hydrate

Calcium disodium edetate hydrate possesses both metal-chelating and antifungal properties. Calcium disodium edetate hydrate chelates Mn2+, causing mitochondrial damage, disrupting carbohydrate metabolic pathways, and inhibiting the production of pyruvate during glycolysis. It inhibits the growth of Penicillium digitatum, delays conidial germination, and enhances the innate defense capabilities of citrus fruits, making it suitable for research into the mechanisms underlying citrus green mold disease.
