- Glucono Delta Lactone (GDL) is a type of food additive that is commonly used in culinary applications as a leavening agent, acidifier, and preservative. Here are some common culinary uses of GDL:
- Baked goods: GDL is commonly used as a leavening agent in baked goods such as cakes, bread, and pastries. It releases carbon dioxide when it reacts with water, helping to create a light, airy texture.
- Dairy products: GDL is often used in dairy products such as cream cheese and sour cream as an acidifier. It helps to reduce the pH level and create a tangy flavor.
- Tofu: GDL is commonly used to make tofu. It acts as a coagulant, causing the soy milk to solidify into a curd.
- Meat products: GDL can be used as a preservative in meat products such as sausages and deli meats. It helps to extend the shelf life by inhibiting the growth of bacteria.
- Pickles and fermented foods: GDL is often used in pickles and other fermented foods as an acidifier. It helps to create the sour flavor and preserve the food.
- Glucono Delta Lactone has roughly a third of the sourness of citric acid.
- Bulk sizes available on request.
