Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of Lactic Acid obtained by neutralisation of the acid of natural origin with a high purity sodium source. It is produced naturally by living organisms as a by-product of the glycolysis. Sodium lactate is a safe preservative with a high water holding capacity and buffering properties for food and Personal Care uses.
sodium L(+)-lactate is a colourless to yellowish, nearly odourless aqueous solution with a mild salty taste. This solution is stable under normal storage conditions. Sodium lactate is non-toxic to humans and the environment and is readily biodegradable.
