So, what is aluminum lactate?

Aluminum lactate is a food ingredient that is commonly used as a stabilizer and firming agent in various food products. It is a white crystalline powder that is derived from a chemical reaction between lactic acid and aluminum hydroxide. This ingredient is known for its ability to improve the texture and consistency of food products, as well as prolong their shelf life. Additionally, aluminum lactate is often used in baking products as it helps to create a better crumb structure and increase the overall volume of baked goods. However, it is important to note that excessive consumption of aluminum has been linked to health concerns, so it is typically used in small amounts in food products.
