Introduction
Glucono-delta-Lactone (GdL), a white crystalline powder, is a neutral cyclicester of gluconic acid. The acid is produced by an aerobic fermentation of a carbohydrate source. After fermentation it is purified and crystallised into Gdl. GDL is an acidifying agent that enables progressive acidification, unlike other food acids
