Summary
Sodium lactate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food additive by the US Code of Federal Regulations, 21 CFR. SL produced by microbial fermentation is the sodium salt of natural lactic acid (L+) and is a normal component of muscle tissue. It has been used to control the growth of certain microorganisms during storage, pH control, enhance flavor and processing yields of meat products (Doores, 1993; Stekelenburg and Kant-Muermans, 2001). The use of SL as a functional food additive in varieties of foods including meat and meat products have already been reported (Stekelenburg and Kant-Muermans, 2001; Lin and Lin, 2002). The growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and L. monocytogenes is dependant mainly on water activity of the product, storage temperature and residual nitrite to some extent in final products. In numerous studies it has been noted that SL as a food additive to control the water activity in
