Glucono Delta Lactone (GDL) is a natural organic acid that is part of chemical leavening systems. It reacts slowly but steadily with sodium bicarbonate and is fully activated by oven heat. It is a weak acid with sour taste when dissolved in water, about 1/3 of sourness of citric acid. It is used as a sequestrant(a preservative that prevents fat oxidation in food), an acidifier, or a curing, pickling, or leavening agent in the food industry. It is often used as coagulant for making Tau Fu Fa and Silken Tofu.
