Description and Uses

Sodium Lactate is a humectant that is the sodium salt of lactic acid which is low melting and hygroscopic with a mildly saline taste. it is used in sponge cake and swiss roll to produce a tender crumb and to reduce staling. it provides a protein plasticizing effect in bis- cuits. it is used in frankfurter-type sausages as a replacement for sodium chloride to extend shelf life and as a dehydrating salt or humectant in uncured hams. it can function as a flavoring agent and enhancer in some meat and poultry products.
