Delta-Gluconolactone Application:
Delta-Gluconolactone (GDL) is a naturally occurring lactone of D-gluconic acid, widely recognized as a multifunctional ingredient in food processing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. It is a white crystalline powder with high solubility in water and a neutral taste, which gradually hydrolyzes to gluconic acid in aqueous solutions. Its slow release of mild acidity and excellent chelating ability make it a versatile additive for controlled formulation performance. With its dual role as a sequestrant, acidulant, and stabilizer, Delta-Gluconolactone has broad demand across global industries. Applications:
Food and Beverage Industry
Used as a food additive for pH adjustment, leavening, and as a coagulant in tofu production.
