Stearoyl lactylate is mainly used in the food field and the market growth momentum is weak.

Stearoyl lactylate is made from stearic acid, lactic acid, and sodium carbonate (or calcium) as raw materials through neutralization, polymerization, and three chemical reactions. According to different raw materials, stearoyl lactylate can be divided into hard Sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) and calcium stearoyl lactylate (CSL) and the sodium stearoyl lactylate/calcium mixture CSL-SSL. Stearoyl lactylate appears as a white or yellow-white powder, easily soluble in alcohol, acetone, benzene, ether, chloroform, and soluble in vegetable oil, lard, shortening, etc. when heated.

Stearoyl lactylate is a hydrophobic emulsifier that has the functions of emulsification, anti-aging, preservation, and gluten enhancement. It is widely used in food, daily chemicals, medicine, scientific research and other fields. In the domestic market, stearoyl lactylate is mainly used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, etc. in bread, noodles, steamed buns, dairy products, biscuits, non-dairy creamer, margarine and other food fields, especially flour products. field.

According to the “2022-2026 China Stearoyl Lactate Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report》 shows that stearoyl lactylate has a long application history and the market development is relatively mature. There are many stearoyl lactylate manufacturers in my country, including Henan Liangdao Food Co., Ltd., Anhui Zhongxu Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Jinan Yun Cheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Ningbo Beilun Yaxu Chemical Co., Ltd., etc. Overall, stearoyl lactylate companies are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, and product quality is uneven.

As a subdivided product of food emulsifiers, during use, stearoyl lactylate should not only ensure its application functions and effects, but also ensure food safety and hygiene. In recent years, in order to standardize stearoyl lactylate With the development of the acid salt market, relevant departments in my country have issued a series of relevant policy documents, providing a good policy environment for the development of the stearoyl lactylate industry.

At the same time, with consumption upgrading, food consumption is developing in the direction of green, functional and safe, and the market has higher requirements for the performance of stearoyl lactylate. Against this background, stearoyl lactylate companies have removed Excess production capacity needs to be adjusted structurally, and industrial development has shifted towards fine processing. Stearoyl lactylate companies are small in scale and large in number, and the market is relatively fragmented. As the supply-side structural reform continues to deepen, the stearoyl lactylate market will continue to gather in favor of large-scale, technologically advanced companies in the future.

Industry analysts said that the stearoyl lactylate market is relatively mature and its application scenarios are mainly concentrated in the food field. The future market will be difficult to Achieve substantial growth. There are many stearoyl lactylate manufacturers, but they are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. The homogeneity of products is serious. In the context of intensified market competition and consumption upgrading, the stearoyl lactylate industry needs to be high-end and standardized.
