Lactic acid CAS 50-21-5
Lactic acid is an important organic acid, second only to citric acid in terms of production and consumption. Data shows that the consumption of lactic acid accounts for about 15% of the total consumption of organic acids. In recent years, due to the expanded application of L-lactic acid in biodegradable plastics, its demand will have a significant growth rate, and some predict that it may catch up with or surpass citric acid in a few years. Lactic acid is widely present in nature and has been found in living organisms.
