Lactic Acid
is a naturally derived organic acid produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates. It is widely used in the food industry to regulate acidity, enhance flavour, improve microbial stability, and support clean-label formulations. Lactic Acid delivers a mild, smooth acidity that enhances taste without sharpness.
Smooth Flavour Profile
* Provides a mild, rounded acidity without harsh sourness.
* Enhances savoury, dairy, and beverage applications.
pH Control & Stability
* Effectively regulates pH to maintain product consistency and safety.
* Supports microbial control and shelf-life stability.
Naturally Fermented
* Produced by fermentation of carbohydrates, supporting clean-label positioning.
GRAS Status
* Generally Recognised as Safe (GRAS) for use in food and beverage applications.
Highly Functional Liquid Form
* Yellowish, syrupy, hygroscopic liquid with a slight acidic odour.
* Easy to dose, blend, and disperse in liquid and semi-liquid system.
APPLICATIONS & USAGE
* Beverages - pH control, mild acidity.
* Dairy Products - Flavour balance, preservation.
* Sauces and Dressings - Acidity, microbial stability.
* Bakery - Dough conditioning, pH control.
* Processed Foods - Shelf-life and taste stability.
TIP: Adjust dosage gradually to achieve the desired acidity while maintaining a smooth flavour profile.
STORAGE & SHELF-LIFE
* Store in tightly sealed containers. Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight. Protect from moisture due to hygroscopic nature.
* If stored under recommended conditions, shelf-life is typically 12 - 24 months.
FORMULATION TIPS
* Flavour Balance: Ideal for products enquiring gentle acidify rather than sharp sourness.
* Blending: Mix slowly and evenly to ensure uniform pH distribution.
* Compatibility: Works well with preservatives and other organic acids.
* Clean-label Positioning: Highlight as 'fermentation-derived' for consumer appeal.
* Liquid Handling: Use appropriate dosing system due to syrupy consistency.
WHY CHOOSE LACTIC ACID?
* Consumer-Friendly Taste: Smooth acidity preferred in dairy and savoury foods.
* Process Efficiency: Easy to handle and integrate into liquid formulations.
* Food Safety: Supports microbial control and pH stability.
* Trusted Ingredient: GRAS-approved and widely accepted across global food markets.
