Lactic acid produce by glucose fermentation

Soften the bread

Improve natural sweetness

Act as preservatives

Extend shelf life of products

Inhibit microbial growth and spoilage

Decrease water activity

Decrease moisture content

Types

Non- nutritive

Acesulfame potassium

Has excellent solubility

High level causes bitter taste

Saccharin
