Lactic Acid 80%

Lactic Acid 80% is a natural organic acid produced by bacterial fermentation of sugars. It serves as a natural acidulant, pH regulator, flavor enhancer, and mild preservative, widely used in food, beverage, and cosmetic industries for its mild, non-volatile sourness and antimicrobial properties.
  • Provides a smooth, mild sour taste, less sharp than citric acid
  • Natural origin (fermentation-based), appealing for clean-label products
  • Effective against a range of spoilage microorganisms, extending shelf life
  • Hygroscopic nature helps control water activity and acts as a humectant
  • Available in various concentrations, with 80% being a common commercial form

Applications

Lactic Acid 80% is widely used in:

  • Dairy products​ – Natural acidulant in yogurt, cheese, and sour cream; also produced in-situ during fermentation.
  • Beverages​ – Adds mild tartness to fruit juices, soft drinks, and sports drinks.
  • Confectionery​ – Acidulant in fruit gums, hard candies, and sour sugar coatings.
  • Meat & poultry​ – Flavor enhancer, pH adjuster, and antimicrobial agent in marinades and processed meats.
  • Pickled vegetables​ – Provides characteristic tang in olives, pickles, and sauerkraut.
  • Personal care​ – pH adjuster and moisturizer in skincare products.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between L(+), D(-), and DL-Lactic Acid?

A: They are stereoisomers. L(+)-Lactic acid is the form naturally produced and metabolized by the human body. D(-)-Lactic acid is less common. DL-Lactic acid is a 50/50 mixture. For food, L(+) or DL forms are typically used. L(+) is often preferred for “natural” labeling.

Q2: Is lactic acid suitable for vegan products?

A: Yes, commercially, lactic acid is produced via microbial fermentation of plant-based sugars (e.g., corn, beet sugar), making it suitable for vegan and vegetarian products. It is not derived from dairy.

Q3: How does it compare to citric acid in taste?

A: Lactic acid has a smoother, more lingering sourness, while citric acid has a sharp, quick “burst” of tartness. Lactic acid is often described as “creamy” or “yogurt-like.”

Q4: What are the storage conditions?

A: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Keep containers tightly closed. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents and bases. It is corrosive; handle with care.

Q5: What is the MOQ?

A: Standard MOQ is one 25kg drum. For IBC or bulk tanker shipments, please inquire.

Q6: Can it be used in bakery?

A: Yes, it is used as an acidulant in sourdough bread (often in dried form) and to control pH for proper leavening and crust color development.
