Ferrous lactate, or iron(II) lactate, is a chemical compound consisting of one atom of iron (Fe2+) and two lactate anions. In Chemistry, the standard state of a material is its state at 1 bar (100 Kilopascals exactly Lactic acid ( IUPAC Systematic name: 2-hydroxypropanoic acid) also known as milk acid, is a Chemical compound that plays a role It has the chemical formula Fe(C3H5O3)2. It is used as a food additive with E number E585. E numbers are number codes for Food additives and are usually found on Food labels throughout the European Union. It is an acidity regulator and colour retention agent, and is also used to fortify foods with iron. Acidity regulators, or pH control agents, are Food additives added to change or maintain PH ( Acidity or Basicity) Colour retention agents are Food additives that are added to food to prevent the color from changing Food fortification is the Public health policy of adding Micronutrients (essential trace elements and vitamins to Foodstuffs to ensure that minimum dietary
