Summary

A selection of food spoilage organisms and pathogens were screened for sensitivity towards sodium lactate. The effect of pH (5.7 to 7.0) and temperature (4 to 37 deg C) on the minimum inhibitory concentration was determined in a peptone-yeast extract medium. Sodium chloride was used as a reference to distinguish between the effect of water activity and the specific inhibitory effect of sodium lactate. Results are given.
