Product Description – Lactic Acid 80% Food Grade

Lactic Acid is an organic acid with the chemical formula C₃H₆O₃. An 80% food-grade solution typically contains approximately 80% lactic acid in an aqueous solution, subject to the manufacturer’s specification and Certificate of Analysis.

In food applications, lactic acid is identified as E270. Manufacturers use it primarily as an acidity regulator, acidulant, pH-control ingredient, flavour modifier, and processing aid in suitable formulations.

The liquid form allows convenient incorporation into many industrial food-processing systems. Its acidic character makes it useful where manufacturers require controlled tartness or adjustment of product acidity.

Lactic acid occurs naturally in many fermented foods and can also be commercially manufactured through controlled fermentation or other production processes.

Because food-processing requirements differ significantly, manufacturers should determine the correct concentration and addition rate according to their approved formulation, product specification, applicable food regulations, and technical guidance.

Sanvil Industries Ltd supplies food-grade material for professional manufacturing and processing requirements throughout East Africa.
