Application
Iron(II) lactate hydrate serves primarily to fortify and enrich food products with iron, addressing dietary needs. As a greenish-white powder or crystalline mass, it maintains a neutral color and flavor, making it versatile for use in various food applications, especially acidic foods with a pH below 4.5, where it is less prone to oxidation and discoloration. It is particularly used in milk products designed for infants and toddlers, ensuring adequate iron intake in their diets. Additionally, in higher pH foods where there's a risk of instability, it can be complexed with ligands to prevent browning. Beyond food fortification, Iron(II) lactate hydrate has applications as a pharmaceutical reference standard, aiding in the quality control of pharmaceutical formulations. Its functionality is underscored by its slight solubility in water, while remaining insoluble in alcohol, and its stability as a deliquescent compound sensitive to light.
