Application
Lactic acid has been used:
- as a component in substrate solution II for lactate dehydrogenase reaction
- as an additive in storage solution A
- as a supplement in the artificial gastric juice preparation for evaluation of degree of resistance Lactobacillus to the gastric stresses
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-(+)-Lactic acid is used as a substrate for lactic acid dehydrogenase and lactate oxidase.
General description
L-(+)-Lactic acid is the only naturally occurring lactic acid in humans and mammals. Commercially, few bacteria like Lactobacillus casei, L. delbrueckii, Streptococcus lactis produces L-Lactic acid by fermentation process. Lactic acid activates hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor, G-protein coupled receptor 81 (GPR81).
