Functions & Applications of Lactic Acid Powder
L-lactic acid powder is a natural L-lactic acid powder produced by glucose fermentation. It is a mixture of L-lactic acid and L-calcium lactate. The product is white granule or powder with mild and pure acidity, soluble in hot water and deliquescence.
Often used as food or feed additives, it can improve the flavor of food and extend shelf life. It is widely used in canned food, bread, flour, pastry, feed and other industries as food flavor improver. Especially suitable for acidity regulation of various solid and powder foods. Its excellent PH value regulation function and bacteriostasis ability can effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms and prolong the shelf life of food.
1. Food industry. Mainly used for food, beverage as sour agent and taste regulator,
2. Pharmaceutical industry: lactic acid lactic acid is a kind of important pharmaceutical intermediates, used for producing erythromycin Lin’s fluid infusion.
3. The cosmetics industry: can nourish skin, keep wet agent, update, PH regulator, acne, to ChiGou agent,
4. Pesticide industry: lactic acid high biological activity of soil and crop, non-toxic, can be used in the production of new pesticide, environmental protection.
5. The tobacco industry: moderate join lactic acid, can improve the quality of tobacco, and maintain the humidity of tobacco.
6. Other industries: besides above purposes, lactic acid is used to produce biodegradable plastics, poly lactic acid and green solvent – lactic acid methyl ethyl lactate, etc.
