What is Food Grade Lactic Acid Used For?
Food grade lactic acid serves as a preservative and pH adjuster, playing a crucial role in the food industry by enhancing the shelf life and safety of products. This clear, colorless liquid with a tart taste is commonly found in a range of food items, including baked goods, meat products, dairy, and fermented vegetables.
Additionally, lactic acid is used to produce lactate salts and is essential in processed meats, where it helps inhibit harmful bacteria growth, extending the product’s shelf life and improving safety. It also enhances the preservation and characteristic tang of fermented vegetables like pickles and sauerkraut. In dairy products, lactic acid adjusts the pH and contributes to the sour flavor of items like yogurt and kefir. In baked goods, it is used to fine-tune the pH, improving the flavor and texture of the final product.
