GdL (glucono-delta-lactone) is a widely used acidulant in meat products, especially for dry-cured sausages. It is used when a slow release of acid is required. In the presence of water, it reverts to gluconic acid. The lowering of the pH inhibits the growth of bacteria and accelerates the drying (Bertelsen et al., 1995).
