The main application of Lactic Acid

In foods such as dressings, pickles, baked goods, and dairy products, lactic acid provides tangy flavor and acidity that enhances taste.
Lactic acid in drinks plays an essential role in balancing taste and ensuring freshness.
In fermented dairy products such as yogurt, and cream, bacterial cultures produce lactic acid to create the characteristic sour taste and texture. It preserves food while increasing its probiotic content.
Lactic acid is used to balance and maintain the acidity in skin care products such as cleansers, lotions and peels.
Lactic acid in pharmaceuticals acts as an excipient to regulate drug solubility and pH balance.
Industrially, lactic acid is converted to ethyl lactate, which is used as a biodegradable, non-toxic solvent in paint strippers, textile coatings, and food processing equipment cleaners.
