E325 SODIUM LACTATE
Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid, an acid formed naturally by the bacterial fermentation of foods, while industrially it is produced by the bacterial fermentation of starch and molasses. It is possible that these additives (lactates), being derived from this acid, can induce intolerance phenomena in people who cannot tolerate lactose.
Sodium lactate is a compound of synthetic origin and - as well as an antioxidant - is also an acidity regulator.Lactic acid (and lactates) are also used as preservatives, mainly against fungi and yeasts. It can be contained in cheeses, sugared almonds, sweets, ice creams, fruit jellies, soups, and fruit preserves.
There are conflicting opinions on its level of toxicity. It does not seem that there are currently negative side effects, although it is not recommended for infants and young children, because they do not yet have the enzymes necessary to metabolize these forms of lactates.
