Lactic acid is an organic acid that forms when certain foods go through the process of fermentation. Its often found in pickled foods, fermented soy products, salami, yogurt, and more.
Food manufacturers add lactic acid to packaged food products such as bread, desserts, olives, and jams to give them longer shelf lives. Lactic acid is a good preservative because it can kill and suppress bacteria in food.
Lactic acid also helps prevent discoloration and works as a gelling agent and a curing agent.
