Description

Glucono Delta Lactone is a kind of excellent multifunctional food additive.

Glucono Delta Lactone is whiteA crystallineA granuleA orA powder,A easyA toA dissolveA inA theA water,white crystalline powder, almost odorless,freely soluble in water(60g/ml),has a slightly sweet taste, then sour, sparingly soluble in ethyl alcohol(1g/100ml),almost insoluble ether. Upon addition to water readily forms an mixture of the lactone gdl and gluconic acid.1% solution ph is 3.5,after 2H,PH is 2.5,about 153A C decomposition.

Glucono delta-lactone (GDL) is a naturally-occurring food additive used as a sequestrant, an acidifier, or a curing, pickling, or leavening agent. Pure GDL is a white odorless crystalline powder. Glucono-delta-lactone, upon addition to water readily forms an equilibrium mixture of the lactone GDL and gluconic acid. GDL is commonly found in honey, fruit juices, and wine. Being acidic, it adds a tangy taste to foods, though it has roughly a third of the sourness of citric acid. It is metabolized to glucose; one gram of GDL is equivalent to one gram of sugar.
