Gluconic acid occurs from the oxidation of glucose and is naturally in fruit, honey and wine. When used as a food additive it helps regulate acidity. It is a strong chelating agent, chelating the anions of calcium, iron, aluminum, copper, and other heavy metals.

The fluoride ions of the industrially largely irreplaceable, locally corrosive hydrofluoric acid (HF) can scavenge cations in biological tissues, which explains their high toxic potential, and also leads to local acidification through proton release. The influence of three complexing agents
