Manufacturing lactic acid from saccharose.Peer-reviewed article

V. KRUMPHANZL, J. DYR

A new simple method has been developed for manufacturing lactic acid of various concentrations from pure sugar. Higher manufacturing costs resulting from higher price of basic material are fully compensated by negligible losses in the isolating stage of the process. The yield of isolation is as high as 95 %. The lactic acid manufactured from sugar meets in every respect the requirements of the foodstuff industry. Owing to the importance of new technology the method will be described in the review published by the High Chemical School in Prague.
