D-Glucono-1,4-lactone (CAT: M047971) is a naturally occurring cyclic ester of D-gluconic acid, appearing as a white, odorless crystalline powder with mild sweetness. It is widely used as a food additive, functioning as a slow-release acidulant, leavening agent, and coagulant—particularly in tofu production. In biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, GDL acts as a buffering agent, a precursor in calcium supplementation, and a substrate in oxidase enzyme assays. Its gradual hydrolysis to gluconic acid under aqueous conditions makes it valuable in formulations requiring controlled pH adjustment. GDL is biodegradable, non-toxic, and generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in food and health products.
