General information
Our current offering is a blend of sodium lactate and sodium diacetate. Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of L(+)-lactic acid, obtained by neutralisation of the acid of natural origin with a high purity sodium source. It is produced naturally by living organisms as a by-product of the glycolysis. Sodium diacetate is a compound of acetic acid and sodium acetate. This blend is a safe and effective preservative for processed meat products. It suppresses the growth of pathogens and prolongs the product shelf life.
Jungbunzlauer sodium L(+)-lactate/sodium diacetate is a colourless to yellowish, syrupy liquid with a slight characteristic odour and a saline taste. This solution is stable under normal storage conditions, non-toxic to humans and the environment and readily biodegradable. All these blends are safe and effective preservatives for processed meat and fish products. They suppress the growth of pathogens and prolong the product shelf life.

Legal Aspects
In Europe, sodium lactate (E325) and sodium diacetate (E262 (ii)) are listed as generally permitted food additives and may be added to all foodstuffs, following the “quantum satis“ principle, as long as no special regulation restricts the use.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) affirmed sodium lactate as GRAS (generally recognised as safe) substance and permitted the use in food with no limitation other than current good manufacturing practice for use as emulsifier, flavour enhancer, flavouring agent or adjuvant, humectant, and pH control agent (CFR § 184.1768). The FDA further affirmed sodium diacetate as GRAS substance and permitted the use in food with no limitation other than current GMP for use as antimicrobial agent, flavouring agent or adjuvant, and pH control agent (CFR §184.1754).
