Research Summary
Lactic acid is a type of organic acid that is naturally produced in the body during anaerobic metabolism, particularly during intense physical activity when oxygen supply to the muscles is insufficient. It is also found in various foods and beverages, such as yogurt, sourdough bread, and certain fruits. Lactic acid plays a crucial role in energy production and regulation of acidity levels in the muscles and blood. In addition to its biological functions, lactic acid is widely used in various industries. In the food industry, it serves as a flavoring agent, pH regulator, and preservative. In the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, lactic acid is used in skincare products for its exfoliating and moisturizing properties. Moreover, it is utilized in the production of biodegradable plastics, textiles, and as a key component in the manufacturing of polylactic acid (PLA), a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics.
