Main functions: regulates acidity, replaces salt, emulsifying salt.

Magnesium lactate dissolves well in alcohol and water. It is obtained from lactic acid (which is well absorbed by the body) and the addition of impurities - salts of polylactic acid and carbonates.

Due to its antioxidant properties, it is used together with other antioxidants in frozen products to prolong their shelf life and prevent damage from fat oxidation. Magnesium lactate is added as an acid regulator in margarine, canned fruits and vegetables, marmalades, jellies, jams.
