1.What is Ferrous Lactate?

This product is a slightly greenish white to yellowish crystalline powder or crystalline mass in appearance. Slightly special odor, slightly sweet. Solubility: 2.5% in cold water, 8.3% in boiling water. Aqueous solution is greenish transparent solution, weakly acidic. The color is gradually darkened after being oxidized in air, almost insoluble in ethanol. Ferrous Lactate is an organic substance with the chemical formula C6H10FeO6, greenish white crystalline powder or crystals. It has a slight odor and a slightly sweet metallic taste. The product becomes yellowish brown containing positive iron salt when it is oxidized by moisture or its aqueous solution. Light can promote oxidation. Iron ions react with other food additives to color easily. Dissolved in water, into a greenish transparent liquid, acidic. Almost insoluble in ethanol.

2.How is Ferrous Lactate produced?

1. It can be produced by adding ferrous sulfate or ferric chloride to calcium lactate solution, or by adding sucrose and refined iron powder to lactic acid solution, and then crystallized to obtain ferrous lactate. 2. It can be made from calcium lactate or sodium lactate and ferrous sulfate (the mass ratio of solvent water and ferrous sulfate is 2:1) by reacting for 40min at 45~50℃ and Ph value 2.5~3.0. 3. It is obtained by reacting calcium lactate or sodium lactate solution with ferrous sulfate or ferrous chloride. Add sucrose and refined iron powder in lactic acid solution, and crystallize it after direct reaction. In order to prevent oxidation, it should be concentrated, crystallized, dried and stored in airtight condition after reaction. 4. Produced by adding ferrous sulfate or ferric chloride to calcium lactate solution. Or by lactic acid solution with sucrose and refined iron powder reaction, and then crystallized ferrous lactate.

3.How is Ferrous Lactate stored and distributed?

1. Food grade should be transported and stored according to food hygiene requirements. Avoid mixing and transporting, and load and unload lightly when handling to prevent damage to the package. 2. Precautions for safe operation: In places where dust is generated, provide suitable exhaust equipment. General fire protection measures. 3. Storage conditions:Keep sealed and keep away from light Temperature conditions:Room temperature 4. Moisture-proofing:To avoid the bag from breaking, to avoid its moisture and rain, so as to ensure that its properties will not change. To avoid unnecessary losses. 5. Anti-temperature: when under the influence of high temperature, performance, properties will be more or less affected, therefore, in the storage must avoid high temperature. 6. Fire prevention: When storing, pay special attention to fire prevention.

4.What is Ferrous Lactate used for?

As a food additive, it serves many functions. These include flavoring agents (giving a sour taste to carbonated beverages, juice drinks, and dessert foods), preservatives (preventing the growth of spoilage microorganisms and inhibiting enzyme activity), chelating agents (chelating metals that can cause oxidation and discoloration), buffering agents (controlling acidity), gelling agents (controlling the gelling mechanism of pectin and seaweed gum in sauce-like foods), and coagulants. , buffering agent (to control acidity), gelling agent (to control the gelling mechanism of pectin, seaweed gum, etc. in saucy foods), coagulant (acid coagulation and precipitation of milk proteins, soy proteins), and so on. The selection of edible acids should take into account the flavor pattern, pH, solubility and dissolution rate, moisture absorption, chemical activity, etc. according to the application.
