Potassium lactate is a colorless, odorless liquid obtained by neutralizing lactic acid with a potassium compound. It acts as a substitute of salt for low sodium application due to similar functionalities (such as excellent moisturizing and syneresis prevention) as that of salt. It does not have any off-flavors typically associated with other potassium products. Potassium lactate has been widely used in various end-user industries, such as food & beverages, health care, personal care, and cleaner & detergents, as preservative, humectant, antioxidant, and flavoring agent. It is also used to adjust the pH level. Furthermore, potassium lactate is used as an extinguishing agent in the first alert tundra fire extinguishers. The concentration level of potassium lactate is 60%; therefore, it is added directly to the cutter or the curing pickle.
