In the food industry, lactic acid is used as a preservative and acidulant.<\/p>\r\n<p>It&#8217;s use is recognized and regulated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/doc.php?id=DOUE-L-2008-82638\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Regulation (EC) No 1331\/2008 of the European Parliament and Council of December 16, 2008,<\/a> establishing a common authorization procedure for food additives, enzymes, and flavorings, and is identified on food labels with the number E-270. Lactic acid can be obtained naturally or synthetically by fermenting various types of sugar with lactic acid bacteria. From lactic acid, other commonly used food preservatives in the industry, particularly in cooked meat products, can be derived.<\/p>\r\n<p>These food preservatives are lactates and can be identified on food labels with the following <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/ES\/ALL\/?uri=CELEX:32008R1331\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">numbers<\/a>:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Sodium Lactate (E-325)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Potassium Lactate (E-326)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Calcium Lactate (E-327)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Ammonium Lactate (E-328)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Magnesium Lactate (E-329)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Ferrous Lactate (E-585)<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Choline Lactate (E-1001vi)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-fd23ccf5b013a91c63392f87710f12df\"><strong><em><strong><em>Which food contain lactate?<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lactate is a salt derived from lactic acid<\/strong> that is present as a food additive in many foods.

As a result, intracellular pH acidifies, and cellular metabolism can rapidly decrease, leading to cell death.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-ef08652b0682bd6cf7e04f0baa8923e0\"><strong><em><strong><em>What role does Lactate play in cooked meat like cooked ham?<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong>cooked meat products<\/strong>, such as cooked ham, lactate plays a crucial role. It is added to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and prolong the product&#8217;s shelf life by regulating acidity. Additionally, lactates help maintain the texture and juiciness of the meat, improving water retention and the firmness of the final product.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the food industry, lactate is a widely used additive, especially in <a href=\"https:\/\/amerexingredientes.com\/productos\/casos-de-exito-en-aplicacion-y-sector\/carnico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meat products<\/a> that are susceptible to deterioration by lipid oxidation and the production of rancid off-flavors, particularly in sausages due to their high-fat content. Lactate helps delay this bacterial decomposition, increasing the shelf life and sensory quality of the food.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there are natural substitutes for lactate and lactic acid whose action is equivalent to these chemical additives and can sometimes even improve it.
