Novel hyperacid solid metal lactates containing up to about twenty moles of lactic acid per mole a neutral metal lactate are produced by reacting an aqueous solution of lactic acid containing up to about 0.5 percent polylactic acids with a suitable metal compound. Such lactates have the formula Me(C.sub.3 H.sub.5 O.sub.3).sub.x (C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O.sub.3).sub.n wherein n represents a number from 4 to 12 and x corresponds to the valence of the metal Me, and are useful in the food industry as substitutes for liquid lactic acids in the making of bread and beverages.
