PURAC lactic acid

PURAC lactic acid is used as an acidulant in sourdough bread. It effectively regulates pH and improves the sourdough flavor. Lactic acid is a natural sourdough acid, which gives the bread its characteristic flavor. PURAC Powder, the powdered form of lactic acid, can be used in baking, cake mixes and other dry mixes.

 

Humectants

PURASAL sodium and potassium lactates are added to breads and cakes to keep them soft and moist over an extended shelf life. They have the ability to bind water and maintain the texture of the system.
