Sodium Lactate
Sodium Lactate is a high-performance humectant and pH regulator widely utilized in advanced food processing and cosmetic formulations. It functions as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, significantly extending shelf life and enhancing moisture retention in processed meat and poultry products.
In personal care applications, this Food Grade and Technical Grade salt mimics the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) to provide superior hydration. It serves as a critical buffering agent, stabilizing the pH in soaps, shampoos, and topical creams to ensure formulation stability.
Available as a clear liquid or powder, it demonstrates excellent solubility and compatibility with various surfactants and functional ingredients. Its hygroscopic nature makes it an essential component for controlling water activity and texture in industrial and consumer goods.
Sodium Lactate
- Meat & Poultry Processing:Used as a preservative to inhibit bacterial growth (Listeria) and increase water-holding capacity in cured meats.
- Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a potent humectant in lotions and soaps to increase skin moisture content and reduce soap cracking.
- pH Buffering: Utilized to stabilize acidity levels in food products, ensuring consistent flavor profiles and preventing spoilage.
- Confectionery: Applied in hard candies and sweets to prevent sugar inversion and regulate acidity.
- Detergents: Functions as a moisturizing agent in dishwashing liquids and hand soaps to mitigate skin irritation.
Sodium Lactate is generally recognized as safe but can cause mild irritation in concentrated forms. Standard industrial hygiene practices should be observed. Operators should wear safety goggles and protective gloves to avoid eye and skin contact. In case of spills, the area should be rinsed with water to prevent slipping hazards. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials.
