The primary use of E517 is as a fertilizer for alkaline soils. In the soil the ammonium ion is released and forms a small amount of acid, lowering the pH balance of the soil, while contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth. The main disadvantage to the use of E517 is its low nitrogen content relative to ammonium nitrate, which elevates transportation costs.
It is also used as an agricultural spray adjuvant for water-soluble insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. There, it functions to bind iron and calcium cations that are present in both well water and plant cells. It is particularly effective as an adjuvant for 2,4-D (amine), glyphosate, and glufosinate herbicides.
In the analysis of rubber lattices, volatile fatty acids are analyzed by precipitating rubber with a 35% E517 solution, which leaves a clear liquid from which volatile fatty acids are regenerated with sulfuric acid and then distilled with steam. Selective precipitation with E517, opposite to the usual precipitation technique which uses acetic acid, does not interfere with the determination of volatile fatty acids.
As a food additive, E517 is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and in the European Union, it is designated by the E number E517. It is used as an acidity regulator in flours and breads.
