Applications of lactic acid series products in beverage

Lactic acid series products are widely used in beverage industry, which can be used to adjust acidity, improve flavor and enhance nutrition of beverage products.

Adjustment of acidity: lactic acid is a natural weak organic acid with a soft and lasting sour taste. It can be used to adjust pH value. In beverages, lactic acid and buffer lactic acid have been widely used to adjust acidity.

Improvement of flavor: lactic acid can significantly improve the flavor of drinks. 

Nutrition enhancement: calcium lactate has a high calcium content, soluble in water and high bioabsorption efficiency. As a nutritional fortifier, calcium lactate is widely used in various beverages (such as fortified health drinks, natural fruit juices, sports drinks, water, tea drinks).

Application of lactic acid series products in meat products

It can effectively ensure food safety, extend product shelf life, and increase flavor, improve texture and stabilize color and lustre. Lactate can be used as emulsifier, moisturizer, flavor improver, quality improver, antioxidant synergist and pH regulator in meat and poultry food processing industry. It can enhance flavor, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in food and extend the shelf life of products.

Application of lactic acid in dairy products

The addition of lactic acid can make up for the influence of the lack of fermentation acidity. In the process of yogurt fermentation, lactic acid can promote the agglutination of protein, and has an important role in maintaining the flavor of yogurt.

Acidity regulation, promote protein agglutination: in the process of yogurt fermentation, lactic acid can promote protein agglutination, can be used in each step of milk fermentation, in order to achieve the precise control of pH or the purpose of acidity regulation.

Flavor enhancement: lactic acid has a soft sour taste, sour lasting for a long time, adding a certain amount of lactic acid in the drink, can enhance and improve the flavor and taste of the drink. Lactic acid is found in sweetened beverages to enhance the flavor of milder fruits such as strawberries, peaches, and cherries. Adding lactic acid to beverages fortified with aspartame and other artificial sweeteners is less bitter than adding other sour agents.

Bacteriostasis: lactic acid can inhibit the growth of most gram-negative bacteria.
