Product Name | Gluconolactone |
Other Name | Glucono Lactone |
Appearance | White Powder |
CAS | 90-80-2 |
MF | C6H10O6 |
Uses | Food Additives |
1. Used as tofu coagulant
Used as a protein coagulant to produce tofu.
2. As milk gelling agent
Mainly used in the production of yogurt or cheese, the gel strength of milk formed by acidification with GDL is about twice that of the fermented type.
3. As a quality improver
The use of GDL in canned luncheon meat and minced pork can increase the effect of the coloring agent, thereby reducing the amount of highly toxic nitrite, and can also have antiseptic effects.
4. As an acidifying agent
It is used in sweet sherbet and jelly such as vanilla extract, chocolate, banana, etc. It is the main acidic substance in the compound leavening agent, which can slowly generate carbonic acid gas, and can produce unique flavor cakes.
