Uses: Our lactic acid stands out as a premier acidifier and preservative in the food industry, and is essential in the production of calcium lactate. Lactic acid, scientifically known as 2-hydroxypropionic acid, is a versatile organic acid and one of the world's top three. Derived from starchy materials through biological fermentation, its global consumption exceeds 500,000 tons annually. Its applications span across food, medicine, chemical industry, cosmetics, agriculture, and livestock sectors, making it an indispensable component in numerous industrial fields.
In the food industry, lactic acid is renowned for its potent preservative properties and versatile applications. It can be seamlessly incorporated into fruit wines, beverages, meats, pastries, vegetable pickling, canning, and overall food processing. Its capabilities extend to regulating pH levels, combating bacteria, extending shelf life, seasoning, and color enhancement, all contributing to superior product quality. The unique acidity of lactic acid elevates the taste profile of salads, soy sauce, vinegar, and other condiments, ensuring stability and safety while providing a milder taste experience. Known for its mild and moderate acidity, lactic acid is the acidifier of choice for well-formulated soft drinks and fruit juices. In beer brewing, it adjusts pH levels, promotes saccharification, enhances yeast fermentation, improves quality, and extends shelf life. In white wines, sake, and fruit wines, it adjusts pH to prevent bacterial growth and enhance the refreshing, sour taste. Buffered lactic acid finds its place in hard and fruit candies, offering a moderate sour taste with low sugar conversion. Natural lactic acid, inherent in dairy products, enhances the taste and antimicrobial properties of yogurt, cheese, ice cream, and other dairy delicacies. Lactic acid powder serves as a direct acidity regulator in bread, cakes, cookies, and other baked goods, improving flavor, inhibiting bacteria, maintaining color, and prolonging shelf life.
In the medical field, lactic acid showcases its versatility as a preservative, carrier agent, co-solvent, drug preparation, and pH regulator. It is effectively used for steam disinfection in wards, operating rooms, and laboratories, significantly reducing airborne bacteria and promoting health. Polylactic acid, derived from lactic acid polymerization, can be spun into surgical sutures that do not require removal, as they degrade into lactic acid absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for a secondary surgery. This innovative polymer compound also serves as an adhesive in organ transplants and bone grafts. L-lactic acid plays a crucial role in formulating drugs and daily health care products, enhancing their effectiveness and safety.
In the cosmetic industry, L-lactic acid is a key component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor and is extensively used in skincare products for its gentle moisturizing properties. It naturally occurs in hair, lending it a glossy and shiny appearance, making it an ideal pH regulator in various hair care formulations. Additionally, L-lactic acid is employed as a moisturizing agent in bath and toiletry products, including intimate body lotions, bar soaps, and moisturizing nectars. Its applications extend to liquid soaps, shampoos, and bar soaps, where it acts as a pH regulator, reducing water loss during storage and preventing soaps from drying out. The multifaceted benefits of lactic acid in cosmetic formulations ensure enhanced skin and hair care, maintaining hydration and health.
In various industrial domains, lactic acid serves versatile roles. In the fermentation industry, it expertly controls pH levels, enhancing fermentation purity. Within the cigarette industry, lactic acid maintains *** humidity, purges impurities, refines flavor, and boosts *** grade by neutralizing nicotine to diminish harmful components. In textiles, it eases fiber dyeing, augments luster, and imparts a silky touch. The paint and ink industries benefit from lactic acid as a pH regulator and synthesizer. In the plastic fiber sector, lactic acid is the prime material for PLA, a groundbreaking biodegradable polymer. Tanning operations use it to eliminate lime and calcium, producing soft, luxurious leather. Nickel plating processes leverage its unique nickel complexation for effectiveness, doubling as a buffer and stabilizer in electroplating baths. The microelectronics field values its high purity and low metal content, meeting semiconductor standards and safely cleaning photographic materials. Moreover, as a pH agent in water-based adhesives and high solids coatings, it outperforms traditional cleaners and descalers, finding applications in toilet, bathroom, and coffee maker cleaners. Lactic acid's antimicrobial prowess, especially when combined with agents like ethanol, enhances its efficacy in various cleaning products.
In agriculture and livestock industries, high-purity lactic acid (99%+) shines for producing slow-release, crop-safe, efficient pesticides like herbicides. Lactic acid polymers replace conventional plastic mulch, decomposing naturally to benefit soil and the environment. As a green feed preservative and pasture maturation agent, it doubles as a growth promoter in pig and poultry feeds, reducing bacterial risks and enhancing digestive enzyme activity. Post-weaning piglets fed with acidifier-enriched feed show a 15% weight gain. Lactic acid curbs microorganisms like E. coli and salmonella, safeguarding lactating piglets from infections. As a feed preservative, it stabilizes grains and meat by-products, while enriching poultry and piglet drinking water to inhibit pathogen growth and boost weight gain.
Note that lactic acid is an irritant. Immediate flushing with water and medical consultation are essential upon eye contact. Risk considerations include R34 (causes burns), R38 (skin irritant), and R41 (serious eye damage).
