L-Sodium lactate is a chemical substance formed naturally during the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria. Its molecular formula is C3H5O3Na with the molecular weight of 112.06. Amtech’s Sodium lactate is a yellowish-brown syrup-like liquid with strong ability to absorb water. It can be dissolved with water, ethanol and glycerin. It is used in food preservation, moisturizing, flavoring and pharmaceutical raw materials. It can also be used as a medicine to relieve acidosis caused by diarrhea dehydration, diabetes, nephritis and other diseases. Also used as seasoning, plasticizer of casein plastic, antifreeze, humectant, substitute for glycerin, corrosion inhibitor for alcohol antifreeze.
Product Applications:
It can be used as an emulsifier, moisturizer, flavor improver, quality improver, antioxidant synergist and pH adjuster. It is widely used in the meat and poultry food processing industry, can enhance flavor, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in food, and extend product shelves period;
Sodium lactate, as a food preservative, flavoring agent, antifreeze agent, and moisturizing agent, has partially replaced sodium benzoate as a preservative in the food industry abroad. Sodium lactate has unparalleled advantages over sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, and sodium sorbate.
It has the following remarkable effects in meat products:
Especially in meat products, it has the following significant effects: 1. Extend shelf life: It can be extended by 30% to 100% or even longer; 2. Suppress pathogenic bacteria in food such as: HT E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes, The growth of Clostridium botulinum, etc., thereby increasing food safety; 3. Enhancing and maintaining the flavor of meat; 4. As a salt, it can not only reduce the amount of sodium chloride, but also sodium lactate for people with low salt heart disease, high It is more safe for blood pressure patients and kidney patients.
