Basic Information
Product Name: Ammonium Lactate
Chemical Formula: C3H7NO3
Molar Mass: 107.10 g/mol
CAS Number: 515-03-7
Appearance: Usually a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid (commercial products are often aqueous solutions); odorless or with a slight ammonia smell. Pure solid is crystalline but highly hygroscopic, so industrial products are mostly solutions (common concentration: 50% aqueous solution).
Solubility: Highly soluble in water and ethanol; insoluble in oils.
Applications
1. Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics
Keratin (Keratin Conditioner):
As an α-hydroxy acid (AHA) in skincare products (e.g., lotions, creams) to promote keratin metabolism, improving skin roughness (e.g., ichthyosis, acne).
Gently exfoliates while moisturizing (lactate ions are hygroscopic).
Skin pH Regulator: Maintains skin acid-base balance, used in shampoos and body washes.
Pharmaceutical Formulations: Acts as a buffer or solvent in oral liquid preparations (e.g., antibiotic solutions).
2. Food Industry
Acidity Regulator and Preservative:
In meat products (e.g., ham, sausages) to inhibit microbial growth (especially Gram-negative bacteria) and extend shelf life.
Adjusts food pH and improves flavor (e.g., in dairy products, baked goods).
Chelating Agent: Binds metal ions to prevent food oxidation and discoloration (e.g., in fruit juices).
3. Industrial Uses
Metal Processing: Used as a surface treatment agent for rust removal and cleaning before electroplating (lactate ions complex with metal ions).
Textile Dyeing: Regulates dye bath pH to enhance dye adsorption efficiency.
Agriculture and Feed: Added to animal feed to adjust gastrointestinal acidity and promote digestion (similar to lactic acid).
Safety and Handling
Hazards:
Irritation: High-concentration solutions may cause mild skin/eye irritation; rinse with water immediately upon contact.
Inhalation Risk: Ammonia vapor from concentrated solutions may irritate the respiratory tract; use in a well-ventilated area.
Toxicity: Low toxicity (oral LD50 in rats: ~3500 mg/kg, practically non-toxic).
Precautions:
Wear rubber gloves and goggles when handling; avoid direct contact with concentrated solutions.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed to prevent hygroscopicity and ammonia volatilization; keep away from fire and oxidizing agents.
Regulatory Compliance: Approved by FDA (21 CFR §184.1140) and EFSA as a safe food additive.
