A review on lactic acid production via microbial fermentation from biowaste: insights on scaling up to industrial process

Lactic acid (LA), the starting material for polylactic acid, is currently in high demand owing to rising bioplastic production. Large-scale production of LA typically uses a first-generation feedstock, namely food-grade sugars, owing to the absence of contaminants and ease of processing. However, it...
