Lactic Acid is an organic compound with the formula CH3CH(OH)CO2H. In its solid state, it is white and water-soluble. In its liquid state, it is clear. It is produced both naturally and synthetically.
Lactic acid is found primarily in sour milk products, such as koumiss, laban, yogurt, kefir, some cottage cheeses, and kombucha. The casein in fermented milk is coagulated (curdled) by lactic acid. Lactic acid is also responsible for the sour flavor of sourdough breads.
Often used as food or feed additives, it can improve the flavor of food and prolong the shelf life. It is widely used in canned food, bread, flour, pastry, feed and other industries as a food flavor improver. It is especially suitable for the acidity adjustment of various solid and powdered foods. Its excellent pH adjustment function and antibacterial ability can effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms and prolong the shelf life of food.
