Skim Milk And Lactic Acid

Skim milk is milk from which the fat has been removed. Lactic acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in milk and produced by bacteria during fermentation. When combined, they can be used to create a cultured dairy product or as ingredients in other foods.

Skim milk and lactic acid are often used together to provide a tangy flavor and help preserve foods. They can also contribute to texture and act as acidity regulators in products like snack bars, baked goods, and dairy-based items.

Skim milk is a source of protein and calcium. Lactic acid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lactic acid and determined it is safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods with these ingredients at typical levels.
