Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hi there Sorry, I know this has probabl been discussed a few times before, but I was just wondering about the origins of lactic acid - animal or not? Also, I'm off to South America (Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Equador) for a couple of months travelling and my guide book isn't very helpful on giving information about food availability out there, does anyone know how vegan-friendly they are??

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Rebecca- LACTIC ACID (n) A syrupy, water-soluble liquid, C3H6O3, produced in muscles as a result of anaerobic glucose metabolism, and present in sour milk, molasses, various fruits, and wines. A synthetic form of the compound is used in foods and beverages as a flavoring and preservative, in dyeing and textile printing, and in pharmaceuticals. You have to check with each company that includes lactic acid ingredients, as you can see it could be animal or veg based. Taco Bell hot sauce has lactic acid, but according to the home office it is vegan. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
