Lactic acid CAS 50-21-5

     With the progress of science and technology and the development of society, chemical products have invariably permeated our daily lives, in medicine, food, cosmetics, electronics, industry, and other areas, becoming an essential part of our lives. One such product is Lactic acid which has developed particularly rapidly in recent years. Do you know about Lactic acid?

The official answer: 

• Purac is an important organic acid, the second organic acid after citric acid in terms of production and consumption, and some information shows that the consumption of lactic acid accounts for about 15% of the total consumption of organic acids. In recent years, the demand for L-lactic acid is expected to grow at a significant rate due to the expansion of its use in biodegradable plastics, and some predict that it may catch up with or surpass citric acid in a few years’ time.
• Purac is widely found in nature and is found in living organisms. Lactic acid, also known as 2Chemicalbook-hydroxypropionic acid and alpha-hydroxypropionic acid, has an asymmetric carbon atom in its molecular structure, forming two optical isomers, the d-body, the l-body and the racemic dl-body, with a total of three optical isomers. The dextro- and racemic forms are found in human and animal tissues, while the levulinic form is a normal mammalian metabolite.
