Sodium Lactate

Sodium Lactate

Sodium Lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid, widely used in the food industry as a humectant, preservative support, and pH regulator. It is especially valued for its ability to extend shelf life, improve moisture retention, and enhance overall product stability.

Unlike strong preservatives, sodium lactate works by reducing water activity and supporting microbial control, making it highly effective in combination systems. It also improves texture and mouthfeel, particularly in protein-based foods.

Key Characteristics

• Excellent moisture retention (humectant)

• Supports microbial control and shelf-life extension

• Mild taste impact

• Improves texture and juiciness

• Good solubility and processing stability
