Potassium Lactate and the Pescatarian Diet
Potassium lactate is a potassium salt of lactic acid, often used in the food industry as a preservative, humectant, and flavor enhancer. It helps to extend the shelf life of food products and can enhance the flavor profile by providing a mild salty taste. This ingredient is typically derived from the fermentation of carbohydrates, but the lactic acid used can originate from either animal or plant sources.
