Ferrous Lactate, also known as E585 and Iron (ii) Lactate, is produced using Lactic Acid. Lactic Acid is usually derived from plants such as beets but can be derived from whey (milk) and other animal products. Ferrous Lactate is used as a food additive - as an acidity regulator, for color retention, and to fortify foods with Iron.
Greenish-white crystalline powder or crystal. Slightly smelly, slightly sweet metallic taste. The product becomes yellowish brown with ferric salt after being damp or oxidized in its aqueous solution. Light can promote oxidation. Iron ions react easily with other food additives to stain. Dissolved in water, forming a green transparent liquid, acidic. Almost insoluble in ethanol.

1. Nutritional supplements (iron fortifications). The daily requirement is 16mg for adults and 6mg for infants (Japanese standard). The amount of iron used to strengthen milk powder is about 6mg/100g. For wheat flour, biscuits, bread, the amount of use is 2 ~ 3mg/100g. The rat fortified soybean milk of this product, the absorption rate (for iron) is very strong. Color conditioner. 2. Ferrous lactate is a good food iron fortification agent, and the absorption effect is better than inorganic iron. China stipulates that it can be used for filling candy, the amount of use is 600 ~ 1200mg/kg(by iron, the same below); Can also be used for dairy products and infant food, the amount of 60 to 100mg/kg; It can also be used for cereals and their products, the amount of use is 24 ~ 48mg/kg; It can also be used for beverages, the amount of 10 to 20mg/kg. 3. Ferrous lactate is a food and feed additive as well as a drug used to treat anemia. The daily requirement is 16mg for adults and 6mg for infants. As an iron fortification agent, the United States stipulates that the amount of flour is 3mg/100g, the amount of bread is 2mg/100g, and the amount of milk powder is 6mg/100g. Iron compounds are unstable to light, iron ions can react with antioxidants to color, should be taken care of when using. 4. Ferrous lactate is a good food iron fortification agent, and the absorption effect is better than inorganic iron. China's regulations (are calculated by iron), the amount of sugar used for filling is 600 ~ 1200mg/kg; It can also be used for dairy products and infant food, the dosage is 224 ~ 48mg/kg; It can also be used for drinks, the dosage is 10 ~ 20mg/kg. 5. This product is mainly used as food additive and feed additive.
