Description: Sodium Lactate is the sodium salt of Lactic Acid, a natural organic acid produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates. It is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid that is soluble in water and alcohol. Sodium Lactate is commonly used as a food preservative, a flavor enhancer, and as an ingredient in personal care products such as lotions, shampoos, and cosmetics. It is also used as a source of electrolytes in IV fluids in medical settings. In the food industry, Sodium Lactate is effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold, extending the shelf life of products. It is also used to enhance flavor, improve texture, and reduce sodium levels in some foods.
