Sodium lactate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

liquid

Uses

Replenisher (electrolyte).

Uses

Sodium Lactate is a humectant that is the sodium salt of lactic acid which is low melting and hygroscopic with a mildly saline taste. it is used in sponge cake and swiss roll to produce a tender crumb and to reduce staling. it provides a protein plasticizing effect in bis- cuits. it is used in frankfurter-type sausages as a replacement for sodium chloride to extend shelf life and as a dehydrating salt or humectant in uncured hams. it can function as a flavoring agent and enhancer in some meat and poultry products.

Uses

sodium lactate keeps a product’s pH from becoming too acidic. It is moisturizing and moisture binding, as well as being a keratolytic, helping exfoliate excess cells from the surface of the stratum corneum. It is also used as a substitute for glycerin. Sodium lactate is naturally occurring in the skin.

Definition

ChEBI: Sodium lactate is an organic sodium salt having lactate as the counterion. It has a role as a food preservative and a food acidity regulator. It is an organic sodium salt and a lactate salt. It contains a lactate.
