Lactic Acid in Soy Sauce?!

Injury/Nutrition Nutrition

14 years ago 09/12/2009 6:23pm EDT

I was reading the ingredients on a bottle of soy sauce. It lists LACTIC ACID as one of the ingredients! Why, I wondered, would I want to sprinkle this on my Chicken and Broccoli?

How does Kikkoman bottle this stuff anyway? Do they force an army of young men run 400m intervals until their eyes roll back in their heads and then leach them for their lactate? How long has this madness been going on?

Can anyone here, in this esteemed hall of knowledge, explain?

Please don’t insult me with wacky theories about fermentation and other reezum razzum. Serious responses only please.

I was drinking some orange juice the other day and decided to look at the nutrition facts. Can you believe orange juice is full of CITRIC ACID? WTF? I'm going to stop drinking it so I don't dissolve.

I just had a butt-load of soy sauce with my noodles. I eat noodles with soy sauce everyday.

This doesn't help you though..

Don't be a dick. He at least gets a few points for saying "reezum razzum".

...can't help you with the op, but I hope also to see some input on the matter...on a somewhat related issue, the ingredients on Fresca say no calories, no sugar,....will this be a near substitute for water as hydration or are there hidden ingredients in Fresca that one should be warry of?

why do they put wheat in soy sauce?

why can't they just mash up SOY and sauce it?

MSG is the real issue!

its not the 30's anymore dude. lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic energy production that helps transport and process acid buildup away from the working muscles. lactic acid=good. hydrogen ions (acid)=bad. not all acids are strong and lower your pH for various reasons like pH buffers
