L(+)-Lactic acid

Description

L-Lactic acid, also known as ( )-lactic acid and milk acid, exists in small quantities in the blood and muscle fluid of animals, including humans. Vigorous activity increases the amount of L-lactic acid in these fluids. In 1780, C. W. Scheele isolated the acid from fermented milk and purified it. In 1856, L. Pasteur discovered that Lactobacillus bacteria produce L-lactic acid, and this became the basis for the first commercial manufacturing plant to produce the acid (1895).

The Uses of L(+)-Lactic acid

Occurs in small quantities in the blood and muscle fluid of man and animals. The lactic acid concentration increases in muscle and blood after vigorous activity. L-(+)-Lactic acid is also present in liver, kidney, thymus gland, human amniotic fluid, and o
