Difference between revisions of "Lactic acid fermentation"

'''Lactic acid fermentation''' is a fermentation technology that converts fermentable substrates to [[lactic acid]]. It is based on a metabolic process by cells in which [[glucose]] or other fermentable sugars are converted into cellular energy and lactate, which is lactic acid in solution. This anaerobic fermentation reaction occurs in some bacteria, mainly Lactobacillales, and animal cells, such as muscle cells. For industrial processes lactic acid fermentation is used to produce lactic acid, lactides and biopolymers (polylactic acid, PLA).
