Uses
sodium lactate keeps a product’s pH from becoming too acidic. It is moisturizing and moisture binding, as well as being a keratolytic, helping exfoliate excess cells from the surface of the stratum corneum. It is also used as a substitute for glycerin. Sodium lactate is naturally occurring in the skin. 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.
