5Chromium mordant dyeing to reduce the chromate content of wool and prevent fiber oxidation; in the post-processing of silk and rayon, it is used as a pH regulator for brightening treatment to increase the color of the yarn. Pure lactic acid is odorless, and the product has a fragrance slightly similar to kool-aid. When the concentration is appropriate, it has a pleasant sour taste. When lactic acid is used as a raw material, it is mostly used as an ingredient in dairy flavors such as butter, kool-aid, butter candies, milk, and cheese. The main derivative of lactic acid: calcium stearoyl lactylate is used as a food additive. Adding 0.3%-0.5% calcium stearoyl lactylate to flour can make bread puffy, increase the volume by 30%-40%, and delay aging. When sodium lactate is used as a flavoring agent, it is used in the production of casein plastic whiteners, antifreezes, moisturizers and pharmaceuticals. Calcium lactate can be used as a nutritional fortifier. Ferrous lactate is used for food fortification and medical treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Lactic acid esters, including methyl ester, ethyl ester, butyl ester, etc., are used as solvents, flavoring agents, etc. Lactic acid and its sodium salt, calcium salt and other derivatives are non-toxic and safe food additives. Stearoyl lactylate is used in emulsifiers and baked goods; sodium lactate is used for intravenous injection; synthetic lactic acid replaces natural fermented lactic acid and is used in cheese and other dairy products to acidify and coagulate milk or cream. These three uses have doubled lactic acid production in the United States. With the development of the food industry, the potential market for lactic acid is huge.
