Galaflow PL 60 is the potassium salt of natural lactic acid made by Galactic through fermentation from sugar. It has a mild taste, antimicrobial properties, and is pH neutral (6.5 – 8.5). Galaflow PL 60 is widely used in food applications as a natural preservative.

Potassium lactate serves as an effective antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of spoilage bacteria and pathogens in meat, poultry, seafood, and prepared meals. It is particularly valued by food manufacturers seeking to reduce sodium content in their products, as potassium lactate provides comparable antimicrobial performance to sodium lactate while contributing potassium instead of sodium to the finished product.

In addition to its preservative function, potassium lactate enhances water-binding capacity in meat products, improving yield and texture. Its neutral pH and mild taste make it easy to incorporate into formulations without significantly affecting the flavor profile.
