Heat Stable Lactic Acid 90% Food
Fulfilled By ChemPoint
SKU
0139659
Galacid Heat-Stable 90 is a natural lactic acid produced by Galactic through fermentation from sugar at a higher concentration of 89.5 – 90.5% total acidity. Like the 88% heat-stable grade, it is colorless, heat stable, and has a mild acid taste. It is widely used as an acidulant for preservation and flavor enhancement in food applications requiring high-temperature stability.

Overview
Galacid Heat-Stable 90 is a natural lactic acid produced by Galactic through fermentation from sugar at a higher concentration of 89.5 – 90.5% total acidity. Like the 88% heat-stable grade, it is colorless, heat stable, and has a mild acid taste. It is widely used as an acidulant for preservation and flavor enhancement in food applications requiring high-temperature stability. The higher concentration of the 90% grade provides more active ingredient per unit volume, which can reduce shipping costs and storage requirements for high-volume users. It maintains the same heat stability characteristics as the 88% grade, with color remaining below 50 Hazen after heating at 200°C (392°F) for 2 hours. This product also complies with FCC, USP, and JSFA standards.
Features & Benefits

- Color after heating (@200°C, 2h): Max. 50 Hazen
- Complies with FCC, USP, and JSFA standards
- Kosher and Halal certified
- GRAS status
- 48-month shelf life
Problems Solved
Need for higher-concentration lactic acid to reduce usage rates and shipping volumes
Discoloration during high-temperature food processing with standard lactic acid
Meeting multiple international regulatory standards (FCC, USP, JSFA) with a single product
Achieving more concentrated acidification in formulations with limited water activity
Applications
Confectionery (hard candy, caramel), bakery, thermally processed foods, retorted meals, pharmaceutical products, and high-volume food manufacturing operations.
