PURAC’s calcium, potassium and magnesium salts have a very neutral flavor profile, which makes them extremely suitable for liquid formulations. PURAC’s iron and zinc salts have a relatively neutral taste, with less metallic flavor impact on the formulation than most alternative iron and zinc salts. The impact of mineral lactates and gluconates on the pH of the end application is relatively small when compared to some alternative sources such as certain carbonates, citrates, sulphates, oxides and hydroxides.
