So, what is glükono-delta-lakton?
Glükono-delta-lakton, also known as GDL, is a white crystalline powder that is commonly used as a food additive. It is an acidulant, meaning that it can lower the pH of food products, thereby increasing their shelf life. GDL is commonly used in bakery products, such as cakes and breads, to improve their texture and flavor. It is also used in dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt, to improve their coagulation and texture. GDL is considered safe for consumption by regulatory agencies and is a popular ingredient in many food products.
