Green tea extract and Lactic acid

Green tea extract is 20 times more antioxidant-active than Vitamin C. The main attribution is supposed to be EGCG. Green tea extract supplements are accessible over the counter in various forms. Because of the high antioxidant activity of Green tea extract, they are hopefully to be used as a kind of innovative food additive to preserve pork, chicken meat, vegetable oil, fish oil and fish flesh, food emulsions and animal fat.
Lactic acid is chiral and has two optical isomers. Lactic acid was refined for the first time by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1780 from sour milk. Lactic acid is found primarily in sour milk products, such as koumiss, laban, yoghurt, kefir, and some cottage cheeses. The casein in fermented milk is coagulated (curdled) by Lactic Acid. Lactic acid is also responsible for the sour flavor of sourdough breads.
Potassium citrate is rapidly absorbed when given by mouth and is excreted in the urine as the carbonate. Potassium Citrate is an effective way to treat/manage gout and arrhythmia, if the patient is hypokalemic. In common with other substances that render the urine alkaline, it may be used to reduce the danger of crystalluria during sulfonamide therapy. Potassium citrate is usually administered by mouth in dilute aqueous solution.
Sodium citrate is metabolized to sodium bicarbonate, thus acting as a systemic alkalizer. Patients on sodium-restricted diets; impaired renal function with oliguria, azotemia, or anuria; untreated Addison disease. Sodium citrate and citric acid decrease acid in the blood and urine. If any of this information causes you to be concerned, any of the common side effects occur, or if your child's symptoms do not improve after taking this medicine.
