Research Summary
Lactic acids are organic compounds belonging to the family of alpha-hydroxy acids. The term ＂lactic acid＂ can refer to both lactic acid itself and its two stereoisomers: L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid. Lactic acid is a carboxylic acid with the chemical formula C3H6O3. It is produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates, particularly in the muscles during intense physical activity. Lactic acid has applications in various industries, including the food industry where it is used as an acidulant and flavoring agent. It is also utilized in the production of biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) plastics. Lactic acid has two optical isomers, L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid, with L-lactic acid being the predominant form found in natural sources. These compounds have diverse applications, ranging from the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries to the development of environmentally friendly materials.
