Lactic acid
APPLICATIONS
- Food Industry (acidulants).
- Fine Chemical Industry (paints, varnishes and plasticizers).
- Building blocks for the production of renewable polymers.
PANORAMA
Bioprocess for the production of lactic acid using an elite bacterial strain selected from the Brazilian biodiversity. The production is based on sweet sorghum juice, but other raw materials can also be used for the production of lactic acid.
ADVANTAGES
- Bacterial strain isolated from Brazilian biodiversity belonging to Embrapa.
- Nutrients and mineral salts necessary for the growth of microorganisms are already present in the sweet sorghum juice.
- Sweet sorghum can be produced during the sugarcane off season period.
- Value addition to the sugar-alcohol energy sector.
