MindMap Gallery Food additive: the role of lactic acid
Lactic acid plays a dual role in food as a flavoring and preservative. It provides a unique sour taste and effectively inhibits the growth of harmful microorganisms, extending the shelf life of food. Lactic acid also participates in the fermentation process of dairy products, giving yogurt and other foods their specific flavor and texture. Additionally, lactic acid promotes intestinal motility and enhances immunity. It is widely used in yogurt, pickles, and preserved foods, bringing deliciousness and health to consumers.
