About Lactic Acid (Food Grade)
Lactic acid (food grade) is an organic compound produced through bacterial fermentation of carbohydrates, primarily used as a preservative, pH regulator, and flavor enhancer in dairy, beverage, and processed food applications. Internationally traded grades include 80% liquid concentrate and crystalline solid forms, with specifications varying by purity (typically 99%+ for food applications) and residual salt content. China, Thailand, and the United States dominate global production and export volumes. Buyers should verify third-party testing certificates confirming heavy metal content and microbiological purity, as food-grade lactic acid requires compliance with FDA, EU, or equivalent regulatory standards that raw commodity suppliers may not consistently meet.
