What is Calcium Stearoyl Lactylate?
Calcium Stearoyl Lactylate (CSL) is a versatile food additive that serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer. It is often used in the baking industry to strengthen dough and improve the volume and texture of bread. CSL is derived from lactic acid, stearic acid, and calcium. While lactic acid can be sourced from both plant and animal origins, many commercial preparations are plant-based, making them suitable for some vegan diets.
