Lactic acid is a substance that is produced via fermentation of carbose sugars such as glucose, lactose, sucrose, and fructose. It can also be produced via chemical synthesis. Lactic acid is also produced in our body whenever an anaerobic process takes place. Example: When we run for a long period of time, when there is a lack of oxygen supply, lactic acid is produced in our body. It is also known as milk acid.
The lactic acid compound has wide utility in today’s real world. The substance is used as a food preservative in the food and beverage industry.
