The customer base of food additive lactic acid is mainly concentrated in food processing and related industries, including the following categories:
1. Food processing enterprises
The wide application of lactic acid in the food industry makes it an important choice for food processing enterprises. These enterprises include:
Beverage manufacturers: manufacturers of juice drinks and lactic acid drinks use lactic acid to adjust acidity and improve taste.
Dairy enterprises: such as yogurt and cheese producers, lactic acid is used in the fermentation process to enhance the flavor of the product.
Meat processing plants: Lactic acid is used in processed meats such as ham and sausage to preserve and improve meat quality.
Bakery factories: Lactic acid is added to bread and cakes to help extend shelf life and improve texture.
Pickled food enterprises: Lactic acid is used in pickled foods such as kimchi and pickles to enhance flavor and extend shelf life.
2. Food ingredient suppliers
Lactic acid is usually supplied to other food additives or ingredient distributors as a basic additive. These enterprises resell lactic acid to food processing enterprises or provide product solutions after compounding with other additives.
3. Health food manufacturers
Lactic acid is widely used in the health food industry due to its natural and safe properties. For example:
Functional foods: such as probiotic beverages and lactobacillus tablets manufacturers, lactic acid is used to adjust acidity and enhance the health attributes of products.
Sports nutrition foods: Lactic acid is used in energy drinks or sports drinks to help relieve fatigue and improve metabolism.
4. Organic and natural food companies
As consumers' demand for green and healthy foods increases, organic and natural food manufacturers tend to choose lactic acid as a natural acidulant or preservative.
5. Food export trading companies
Some trading companies focus on purchasing food additives (such as lactic acid) and exporting them to other regions or countries to meet the needs of local food processing industries.
6. Raw material supply chain of restaurant chains
Restaurant chains may purchase lactic acid through the supply chain as a functional ingredient in pickled foods, condiments or other semi-finished products.
7. Research and development institutions
Some lactic acid products may be purchased by research and development institutions for new food product development or process improvement experiments.
8. Small and medium-sized family workshops
Small food processing companies or family workshops may use lactic acid to make traditional fermented foods such as sauerkraut, yogurt or fermented dough.
