| Application: |
Potassium L-lactate solution (60 %) is commonly used in various industries and applications, such as food production, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. |
| General description: |
Potassium L-lactate solution (60 %) is a liquid formulation that contains potassium salt of lactic acid. Potassium lactate solution is derived from the neutralization of lactic acid with potassium hydroxide. In the food industry, 60% Potassium L-lactate solution can be used as an additive to improve the safety, flavor, and shelf life of processed meats and poultry products. It helps inhibit the growth of bacteria and extends the product′s freshness.In pharmaceuticals and personal care products, it may be employed for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties. It can also function as a pH regulator and preservative in certain formulations. |
