What is Sodium Lactate 60%

Sodium lactate 60% is the sodium salt of lactic acid, commonly used in medicine to treat arrhythmias caused by overdoses of class I antiarrhythmics and sympathomimetics that lead to hypertension. KP Manish offers Sodium Lactate 60% food grade, as a food additive (E325), it serves as a preservative, acidity regulator, and bulking agent. It is available in various forms, and it has a mild saline taste. It is produced through the fermentation of sugar sources like corn and neutralization of lactic acid. Unlike lactose, sodium lactate is safe for those with lactose intolerance. Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of L(+)-lactic acid, obtained by neutralization of the acid of natural origin with a high purity sodium source. It is produced naturally by living organisms as a by-product of the glycolysis. Sodium lactate is a safe preservative with a high water holding capacity and buffering properties for food and personal care uses.

Jungbunzlauer sodium L(+)-lactate is a colourless to yellowish, nearly odourless aqueous solution with a mild salty taste. This solution is stable under normal storage conditions. Sodium lactate is non-toxic to humans and the environment and is readily biodegradable.

Legal aspect of Sodium Lactate : In Europe, sodium lactate is listed as a generally permitted food additive (E325) and may be added to all foodstuffs, following the “quantum satis“ principle, as long as no special regulation restricts the use. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) affirmed sodium lactate as GRAS (generally recognised as safe) substance and permitted the use in food with no limitation other than current good manufacturing practice for use as emulsifier, flavour enhancer, flavouring agent or adjuvant, humectant, and pH control agent (CFR § 184.1768). Jungbunzlauer sodium L(+)-lactate has been registered according to REACH Regulation at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in 2015. The REACH registration number of Jungbunzlauer sodium L(+)-lactate is 01-2119971048-33-0002.
