Developed a process to directly polymerize lactic acid from fermentation liquid using lactic acid bacteria that produce high-purity D-lactic acid!
Typically, when we talk about lactic acid, we refer to L-lactic acid, but in recent years, our company has developed "lactic acid bacteria that produce high-purity D-lactic acid." We are also actively developing lactic acid fermentation from cellulose resources, aiming to establish a system that can stably supply optically active lactic acid from various underutilized biomass. We have also developed a process for directly polymerizing lactic acid from fermentation broth and have filed a patent application.

basic information
【Overview】 Optically active lactic acid, which can be used as a plastic raw material, can be produced from surplus biomass such as industrial raw rice. The arming lactic acid bacteria utilize starch as their own sugar source to carry out lactic acid fermentation. Typically, when referring to lactic acid, it means "L-lactic acid," but our company has also developed "lactic acid bacteria that produce high-purity D-lactic acid." *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.*
