Product Description

Glucono Delta Lactone (GDL) is a naturally derived food additive and acidulant that slowly hydrolyzes into gluconic acid when dissolved in water. It provides controlled acidification, mild acidity, and excellent flavor stability, making it widely used in food processing and specialty formulations.

Due to its gradual pH reduction and clean taste profile, GDL is preferred in products where smooth texture, stable structure, and mild sourness are required.
