Chemical compound
Zinc lactate is a chemical compound, a salt of
zinc and
lactic acid with the formula Zn(C3H5O3)2.
[1]
[2]
Synthesis
Reaction of lactic acid with
zinc oxide:
- 2CH3CH(OH)COOH + ZnO → Zn(C3H5O3)2 + H2O
Physical properties
Zinc lactate appears as a white to almost white fine powder.
Zinc lactate is nearly odourless, highly soluble in water,
[3] and insoluble in
ethanol.
Zinc lactate forms dihydrates with the chemical formula Zn(C3H5O3)2 • 2H2O.
Use
The compound is used in dental care products like toothpaste or mouthwash.
[4]
Can also be used as a dietary ingredient and as a nutrient.
[5]
