Sodium L-lactate is produced from pyruvate by the enzyme Lacate Dehydrogenase. Lactate production occurs during anaerobic glycolysis or in proliferatively active cells. Sodium L-lactate is widely employed as a preservative, buffer, and stabilizer in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Its primary functions include regulating the pH level and preventing the formation of harmful by-products, thus ensuring the stability of a solution. Furthermore, it acts as an effective antimicrobial agent by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.
