In an industry where food safety standards are tightening and consumer expectations are evolving, food manufacturers are faced with the need to adopt preservation solutions that are both effective and respectful of product quality. To meet this need, Galactic has developed a highly efficient specialty blend: a unique combination of lactate, acetate, and diacetate. 

In the food industry, combating the proliferation of bacteria and pathogens is essential to guarantee safe products for the consumer as well as maintain taste over life. Preservatives play a crucial role in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that can cause food-borne illness.

Preservatives and pH regulators: 

Galimax Diace N-47 is a combination of sodium lactate obtained by fermentation, sodium acetate and sodium diacetate. It is used as a preservative with a dual function: it acts as a pH regulator, creating an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth, and has direct antimicrobial properties due to its acetate content.
 

The effectiveness of Galimax Diace N-47 as an antimicrobial agent has been proven, particularly in meat products where preservation requirements are high. Its use ensures extended shelf-life without compromising the sensory characteristics of the food - an important consideration for consumers who don't want to sacrifice taste or quality for safety. This means that manufacturers can use our product without fear of altering the taste, smell, or color of their products, which are also key attributes of perceived quality.
