Glucono Delta-Lactone

Glucono Delta-Lactone is a multifunctional food additive and raw material widely utilised across the food industry. Functioning primarily as a mild acidulant, pH regulator, and sequestering agent, it offers a reliable alternative to traditional direct organic acids. The ingredient hydrolyses slowly when dissolved in aqueous systems, delivering a progressive reduction in pH that is advantageous for specific processing requirements.

This raw material is supplied as a fine, white crystalline powder featuring high water solubility and optimal thermal stability. Its controlled acid-release profile makes it highly suitable for applications requiring gradual acidification, such as curdling in tofu production, leavening in bakery formulations, and curing in processed meat products. It also functions as an acidifier in dairy manufacturing, salad dressings, and ready-to-eat products, where consistent technical properties and shelf stability are required.
