LACTATE TECHNOLOGY, PRODUCTS & USE
LACTATE TECHNOLOGY
Lactic Acid is a natural organic acid with a long history in the food, leather,
wood-dyeing and cosmetic industries. Long before it became commercially available.
It was formed by natural fermentation in products such as cheese, yogurt, soy sauce,
meat products, pickled vegetables, beer and wine. Animal and human bodies also produce
significant amount of lactic acid during daily activities such as walking and running.
Today, Lactic Acid and its salts like Calcium Lactate and Sodium Lactate are extensively
used in food, industrial, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Lactic Acid,
Calcium Lactate and Sodium Lactate are available as per IP / BP / USP specifications.
Food grade Lactic Acid is also available.
LACTIC ACID
In sugar confectionery, it is used in continuous production line for high boiled
sweets to make perfectly clear sweets with minimum sugar inversion and with no air
trapped.
In bakery products it is used for direct acidification of bread. It increases butter
stability and volume.
To produce a mild and pleasant taste to acid pickles, relishes and salad dressings.
Lactic Acid suppresses Coliform and Mesentericur group of bacteria. Also used in
jams, jellies, frozen fruit desserts.
In dairy products such as cottage cheese, addition of lactic acid is preferred to
fermentation. Also used in imitation dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt powder.
Lactic Acid is widely used in preserving fruits like firmness of apple slices during
processing and it also inhabitates discoloration of fruits and some vegetables.
Use of buffered lactic acid improves the taste and flavour of many beverage, such
as soft drinks, mineral water, carbonated fruit juices.
In breweries lactic acid is used for pre-adjustments during the mashing process
and during wort cooking. Acidification with Lactic Acid of lager beer improves the
microbial stability as well as flavour.
It is also used in processing of meal in sauces for canned fish, to improve the
taste and flavours and to relive the unpleasant amine flavour from fish meal for
incorporation into bread.
Lactic acid is used as pH regulator in pharma products.
It is suitable as a starting material in the synthesis of chiral products e.g. herbicides
or pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a monomer for polylactides, a new generation
of Bio-degradable polymers.
It is used in many decalcification products such as cleaners for toilets, bathrooms
and coffee machines. It possesses anti-microbial properties.
Lactic Acid is used in Nickel plating processes because of its unique complexing
constant for Nickel. It simultaneously acts as pH buffer and stabilizer for the
bath.
CALCIUM LACTATE IP / BP / USP / EP & Feed / Technical
Grades
The company's in-house R&D has developed first of its kind Anaerobic fermentation
based process technology based on imported culture / strain to produce Calcium Lactate
and the technology was commercialized on 300 Thousand Liters fermentation facilities.
It is the preferred choice in preparation for calcium deficiency therapy, since
it is a calcium salt with high solubility and bio-availability.
It is an excellent calcium source in tablet making by pharma industry. Besides the
powdered form, granular forms are also available for the direct compression of calcium
lactate into tablets.
Calcium Lactate is used to fortify milk and fermented dairy drinks.
Calcium Lactate enriches products such as sport and health drinks, fruit juices,
diet foods and infant formulas and improves bio-availability.
It is used as anti-tartar agent in many oral care products such as toothpaste and
mouthwash.
THE LACTATE: ORGANIC CHEESE & PANEER MAKER
(A salt of organic acid)
Preamble:
Calcium salt of Lactic acid is called Cheese Lactate and manufactured using eco-friendly
fermentation technology and is certified as Organic product by Indian organic
certifying agencies and also OMRI of USA for the first time in the Globe.
This Organic salt is widely used all over the World for the production of Cheese, Paneer
and other allied milk proteins.
 
Method of application:
Heat milk up to around 850c- 900c and add tea spoon of Organic Cheese
Lactate (around 5 gm per liter of milk) powder / flakes / granules and
stir for a while till you observe coagulation process is completed (Cheese /
Paneer lumps is separated from Milk).
This process is also called “Separation of milk protein from the milk”.
Filter the Cheese or Paneer and clear solution may be consumed by ladies with tea spoon
of sugar for better health.
Recommendations:
Use 5-6 gm (0.50% or less than tea spoon) of Organic Cheese lactate per liter of milk.
Why Cheese Lactate:
To enhance CHEESE Quality & Quantity
This organic Cheese Lactate is
produced through fermentation Carbohydrates into Organic acid - Lactic acid.
Organic Cheese Lactates is very
effective and provides Excellent texture to the Cheese / Paneer (Milk Proteins).
Organic Cheese Lactate maintains
neutral pH of the Cheese / Paneer to facilitate easy acceptance by the body and
thus bio available to the Human Body.
Organic Cheese Lactate provides
value addition to the Cheese / Paneer with enriched Organic Calcium and thus
increasing Nutritional value for Cheese / Paneer.
Organic Cheese lactate may enhance
shelf life of Cheese / Paneer, as it is manufactured based on Weak Organic Acid
– Lactic acid which basic application is to enhance shelf life of foods /
Beverages and also all kinds of feeds.
Bengal States have already
demonstrated using Organic Cheese Lactate to manufacture traditional sweet of
Rasagolla (Indian delicious sweet) since decades.
Prathista can organize Organic
Certification for Organic Cheese for better market and acceptability in consumer
segment, considering in-puts used for Cattle feed manufacturing.
SODIUM LACTATE (55 - 60%)
It is used as an electrolyte in many I.V. solutions intended for fluid or electrolyte
replenishment.
It is used in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) solution for nephoric
patients and in dialysis solutions for conventional artificial kidney machines.
Sodium Lactate is used extensively by the processed meat to give products an extended
shelf life and enhanced flavour and to provide better control of food borne pathogenic
bacteria.
It is used as a moisturizer in all kinds of toiletery products such as shower gels,
bar soaps, after - shave lotions and as a pH regulator in liquid soaps and shampoos.
Moreover, the addition of this in bar soaps reduces water loss during storage, thus
reducing the risk of brittleness and cracks.
OTHER LACTATES
Based on market requirements, the company can supply any salt as per the details
provided the chart. We can also provide combination of salts for Pharma & Food,
Veterinary and Agricultural segments - either in the form of formulation or combination
of different salts, as per customer requirements.
Packing & Storage
The mode of packing may be changed as per customer requirements on request.
These products have to be stored in cool dry environment, away from sunlight to
