Potassium lactate

Potassium lactate is the potassium salt of lactic acid, a natural acid produced by the fermentation of lactose (milk sugar). It is produced commercially from the bacterial fermentation of carbohydrates and molasses. Potassium lactate acts as a preservative, acidity regulator, and anti-microbial agent, which is highly effective against bacteria, fungi and yeast.http://www.creative-enzymes.com/product/Potassium-Lactate_204.html
