Potassium Lactate

Other names: Potassium lactate, potassium 2-hydroxypropanoate, E326

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)


Potassium Lactate, also known as potassium lactate, potassium 2-hydroxypropanoate, or by the code E326, is a substance widely used in the food industry as a preservative, emulsifier, and acidity regulator. It is a white crystalline powder that is widely used in the food industry for its ability to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and microorganisms, especially in meat products. In addition, it also has the capacity to increase the shelf life of food and stabilise its structure.

Potassium lactate is used in a variety of products including cheese, canned goods, confectionery, baked goods, salads, vegetable and fruit soups, beverages, ice cream, butters and other baked foods. Due to its neutralising acidity, it is also often used in beverages, including alcohol. In cosmetics, potassium lactate is used in bath salts and other bath products for its moisturizing properties. Despite being widely used, some individuals may experience persistent allergic reactions or skin irritation. However, most health studies confirm that potassium lactate is safe for use in food and cosmetics.
