FAQ


Q1: What Is the Difference Between L-Lactic Acid and DL-Lactic Acid?

A1: L-lactic acid can be produced by fermentation and is often preferred for its sensory profile and biological compatibility. DL-lactic acid contains both enantiomers and may be available at a lower cost, depending on the production method.

Q2: Which Concentration Should I Choose: 80% or 88%?

A2: An 80% concentration is widely used in general food applications, while 88% provides higher acidity per unit weight and may offer a lower cost per unit of acidity.

Q3: Is L-Lactic Acid Suitable for Clean-Label Products?

A3: Lactic acid produced by fermentation is commonly used in clean-label formulations where permitted by applicable regulations and customer requirements.

Q4: What Is the Difference Between Lactic Acid and Citric Acid?

A4: Both are commonly used organic acids, but they differ in sourness, formulation behavior, and applications. Lactic acid generally provides a milder, rounder acidity, while citric acid is often used when a bright, refreshing, fruity sourness is desired. The best choice depends on the target flavor and processing requirements.

Q5: Can Lactic Acid Be Used with Other Acidity Regulators?

A5: Yes. In suitable food formulations, lactic acid can be evaluated in combination with other acidity regulators. Consider the target acidity, flavor, ingredient compatibility, and applicable regulations. Bench-scale trials and stability testing are recommended.
