Sodium L-lactate CAS 867-56-1

L-Sodium Lactate is used for food preservation, moisturizing, aromatizing and pharmaceutical raw materials for the manufacture of medicines. It is also used as casein toughening agent and water absorbing agent. In terms of food bacteriostasis, sodium L-lactate can not only inhibit the reproduction of most spoilage bacteria, but also have different degrees of inhibition on many pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, Clostridium botulinum, etc. , thereby effectively prolonging the shelf life of meat products. Sodium L-Lactate has been successfully used in whole meat products such as cooked ham, roast beef, chicken breast, and minced meat products such as hot dogs, fresh sausages, smoked sausages and sausages. The ham without the addition of sodium L-lactate L deteriorated within 15 days, and the total bacterial count reached 106; while the ham with sodium L-lactate added, the shelf life could be extended to 4 weeks. When sodium L-lactate is used in combination with other preservatives (such as potassium sorbate), the bacteriostatic effect is more significant. In addition to the bacteriostatic effect, sodium L-lactate in meat products also has the functions of retaining moisture, improving yield, reducing moisture leaching in vacuum-packed products, anti-oxidation and increasing meat flavor.

In addition, sodium L-lactate is also widely used as a moisturizer in skin care products, which can keep the skin hydrated and reduce wrinkles; sodium lactate is a natural moisturizing factor, and a quarter of the human skin stratum corneum is composed of sodium lactate. When used in cosmetics, sodium lactate can form a hydration film with other chemical ingredients to prevent the skin from volatilizing, so that the skin is in a high-quality, relaxed and moist state and prevent wrinkles. It is widely used as a moisturizing agent for skin care products. Lactic acid also acts as a pH adjuster. L-Lactate acts as a next-generation skin lightening agent that produces synergistic effects when used in combination with other skin lightening agents. Sodium lactate is used as a humectant in a variety of bath products such as body washes, bar soaps and body lotions. In liquid soaps, soaps and shampoos as pH modifiers. In addition, addition to bar soaps reduces moisture loss during storage, thereby preventing soap from drying out; sodium lactate is very effective in treating skin disorders. Such as: extreme dryness symptoms caused by dry skin disease. L-lactic acid and L-lactate have antimicrobial properties and are used in anti-acne products. They usually produce synergistic effects when used in combination with many other active ingredients.
