What is Lactic Acid?
Lactic Acid is a staple in various products within food, pharmaceutical, beverage and even some industrial cleaning applications. More "natural" sources include most lactose-based items such as cheeses, kefir and many more, but also manufactured artificially.
Lactic Acid is a staple within countless businesses in food, drink, pharmaceuticals and beyond. Whether this is within alcohol in the production of "Belgian-Style" beers or to reduce sharpness in wines, you can find this as a common addition. Typical food applications include as a preservative, flavouring and curing agent, controlling bacteria and preserving flavours while reducing sodium content.
These are just some of the many applications available for this product. Lactic Acid is available in two primary forms - an 80% solution or a 60% powder. It is a colourless solution or a white powder.
There are two primary routes to create Lactic Acid: Bacterial Fermentation and Chemical Synthesis. Manufacturing data in 2009 shows that bacterial fermentation produced between 70-90% of all Lactic Acid. However, it is less efficient on an industrial scale. The Chemical Production Method is created by causing a reaction between several chemicals, forming a base for purification, drying and packaging where required.
