Uses and synthesis of Sodium lactate powder.

Sodium lactate powder, formula :C3H5O3Na. Molecular weight :112.06, colorless or almost colorless transparent liquid, can be dissolved with water, ethanol, glycerol. Sodium lactate is used in food preservation, moisturizing, flavoring and pharmaceutical raw materials. Sodium lactate powder as a food additive is not only safe and widely used, but also has multiple functions. In GB2760, sodium lactate can be used as six functional additives such as water retention agent, acidity regulator, antioxidant, leavening agent, thickener and stabilizer.

Mechanism of action of Sodium lactate powder.

Buffer (food, medicine): Sodium lactate is a good buffer that can stabilize pH. In food and pharmaceutical preparations, it can be used to maintain the pH stability of the product and prevent drastic changes in pH from affecting product quality or drug activity.

Preservative/antibacterial agent (food, personal care products): Sodium lactate itself has a certain antibacterial effect and can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria, molds and yeasts. Especially when used in combination with other preservatives such as lactic acid and sodium benzoate, it can enhance the preservative effect and extend the shelf life of the product. Its antibacterial mechanism may be related to reducing water activity and changing cell membrane permeability.

Acidity regulator (food): Sodium lactate is weakly alkaline and can be used as an acidity regulator to reduce the acidity of food and improve the taste, such as in pickled meat, bread making, etc.

Electrolyte supplement (medicine): In some medical uses, sodium lactate can be used as an electrolyte supplement to provide sodium ions to the human body and correct electrolyte disorders. After lactate is metabolized in the body, it can be converted into bicarbonate, which plays a role in alkalizing the blood, such as in the treatment of mild metabolic acidosis.

Flavor enhancer/flavor enhancer (food): Sodium lactate has a mild salty taste and a certain umami taste. It can be used as a flavor enhancer to enhance the flavor of food, such as in meat products, condiments, sauces, etc.

Humectant/water retainer (food, meat products): Sodium lactate has hygroscopicity and water retention. It can bind water, reduce water loss, retain moisture in food (especially meat products), and improve taste and texture.

Application of Sodium lactate powder.

1. Food industry:

Meat processing: as a moisture retainer, pH regulator, flavor enhancer, and antibacterial agent, it is used in the processing of meat products such as ham, sausage, bacon, and cured meat to improve the water retention, tenderness, and flavor of the products and extend the shelf life.

Dairy products: used in dairy products such as cheese and yogurt to adjust the acidity, improve the texture, and enhance the flavor.

Bread and baked goods: as an acidity regulator and dough improver, used in baked goods such as bread and pastries to improve the rheology of the dough and improve the quality of the product.

Beverages: as a buffer and flavor enhancer, used in juices, beverages, etc., to adjust the pH value and enhance the taste.

Condiments and sauces: used in condiments and sauces such as soy sauce, vinegar, salad dressing, and ketchup as a flavor enhancer and buffer.

Candy and desserts: used in candy, jelly, pudding, etc. as an acidity regulator and stabilizer.

Fruit and vegetable preservation: as a preservative, used for the preservation of fruits and vegetables to extend the shelf life.

2. Medical field:

Electrolyte supplement: used to correct mild metabolic acidosis and replenish sodium ions. Usually used in the form of injection.

Dialysate component: as a buffer component of peritoneal dialysis fluid, maintain the pH stability of the dialysate.

Topical antibacterial agent (under study): Some studies are exploring the potential of sodium lactate as a topical antibacterial agent, such as for wound care, skin infection treatment, etc., but it is still in the research stage and has limited clinical application.

Product method of Sodium lactate powder.

Chemical synthesis: prepared by neutralization reaction of lactic acid with alkaline sodium salt (such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate). This is the most common industrial production method, with low cost and high efficiency.

For example: Lactic acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium lactate + water

Biological fermentation: Microorganisms are used to ferment sugar substances (such as glucose, corn starch) to produce lactic acid, and then the lactic acid is neutralized with alkaline sodium salt to obtain sodium lactate. Biological fermentation is considered a more "natural" method and is often used to produce food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade sodium lactate.
