So, what is lactato de cálcio?

Lactato de cálcio is a food grade compound that's commonly used as a preservative, flavor enhancer and thickener. It's derived from lactic acid, a natural component that's found in milk and other dairy products. Lactato de cálcio is typically added to processed foods like baked goods, dairy products and beverages, where it helps to prolong their shelf life and improve texture. It's also used in the production of cheese, yogurt and other fermented dairy products, where it can act as a coagulant and improve their overall quality. As a safe and effective food ingredient, lactato de cálcio continues to be widely used across the food industry.
