## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone tell me how many % lactic acid are inside?**
A: 60% Lactic Acid, 40% Calcium Lactate. Thank you for your enquiry.

**Q: How much powder would be required to make an 80% solution?**
A: Difficult question- what receipe are you trying to make?

**Q: Can this be used to speed up sauerkraut fermentation (from raw cabbage) ?**
A: I don't believe so. I think it is none reactive. So for instance I use it to give the fermented taste, to non-fermented soya yoghurt.

**Q: any one made soya yogurt using this if so what is the recipe**
A: I just googled it and found this recipe. Hope it helps http://simpleveganblog.com/soy-yogurt/
