Lactic Acid Powder is a white color powder that belongs to the family of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). It is derived from the fermentation of carbohydrates, such as sugars, by certain bacteria. Lactic acid is a natural acid that is also produced in the human body during various metabolic processes. In various industries, lactic acid powder finds widespread use as an additive, preservative.

Product Use |
Lactic acid, also known as milk acid, is a compound that occurs naturally in dairy products, certain fruits, and fermented foods. However, the majority of lactic acid used in industrial and commercial applications is produced through fermentation of carbohydrates, such as glucose or lactose, by lactic acid bacteria. These bacteria can be found in various natural sources, such as plants and animal intestines, or can be isolated and cultured specifically for industrial purposes.
The production of lactic acid through fermentation involves two main steps. First, the carbohydrate source is broken down by enzymes into simple sugars. Then, lactic acid bacteria convert these sugars into lactic acid through a process called glycolysis. The lactic acid produced is then purified, concentrated, and used in various applications.
Lactic acid is also produced through chemical synthesis, where acetaldehyde and sodium lactate react to form lactic acid. However, this method is not as commonly used due to the availability of more cost-effective fermentation methods.
