Overview
Sodium lactate丨CAS 72-17-3 is a clear, nearly odorless liquid or solid that is highly soluble in water. It is the sodium salt of natural lactic acid, produced by fermentation of sugars. It is widely used in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and medical industries due to its safety, humectant properties, and buffering ability.
Applications
1. Food Industry
Preservative & pH Regulator: Used in meats, poultry, and seafood to extend shelf life by inhibiting bacterial growth.
Flavor Enhancer: Enhances savory flavors in processed foods.
Moisture Retention Agent: Keeps foods moist and improves texture.
2. Cosmetics & Personal Care
Humectant: Attracts and retains moisture in skin and hair care products (creams, lotions, shampoos).
pH Buffer: Helps maintain stable pH in formulations.
Mildness Enhancer: Reduces skin irritation potential in surfactant systems.
3. Pharmaceuticals
Electrolyte Replenisher: Used in IV fluids to treat acidosis or dehydration.
Excipient: Included in oral and topical drug formulations as a stabilizer or solubilizer.
4. Medical Applications
IV Solutions: Included in lactated Ringer's solution for fluid and electrolyte balance.
Dialysis Fluids: Used in peritoneal and hemodialysis solutions.
5. Industrial Applications
Biodegradable Solvent: Sometimes used in eco-friendly cleaning formulations.
Polymer and Resin Manufacturing: Acts as a pH modifier or processing aid.
Benefits
✅ Safe and Biocompatible
Non-toxic and well-tolerated by humans and animals; widely used in medical and food-grade applications.
✅ Moisturizing Agent
Highly effective as a skin-conditioning agent due to its hygroscopic nature.
✅ Antimicrobial Support
Works synergistically with other preservatives to inhibit pathogen growth.
✅ Biodegradable
Environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic preservatives and solvents.
✅ pH Control
Excellent buffer capacity makes it useful in stabilizing formulations across industries.
Summary
Sodium lactate丨CAS 72-17-3 is a multifunctional ingredient valued for its preservative, moisturizing, pH buffering, and electrolyte-replenishing properties. It is widely used in foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and medical fluids, offering both safety and efficacy across a broad range of applications.
