So, what is lactylated?
Lactylated is a food ingredient that is derived from lactic acid. It is commonly used as a preservative, emulsifier, and flavor enhancer in various food products such as baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats. Lactylated ingredients are produced by combining lactic acid with other compounds, such as calcium or sodium, to create a stable and water-soluble substance. Lactylated ingredients are known for their ability to extend the shelf life of food products and improve their texture and flavor. They are also used in gluten-free baking to help improve the texture of baked goods.
