Production of lactic acid using facultative anaerobic bacteria : optimization
Lactic acid (CH3-CHOHCOOH) is the most widely occurring carboxylic acid, having a prime position due to its versatile applications in industries. The use of cheap raw material is important as the price for lactic acid in the market is not too high. This research was done to optimize the production o...

Lactic acid (CH3-CHOHCOOH) is the most widely occurring carboxylic acid, having a prime position due to its versatile applications in industries. The use of cheap raw material is important as the price for lactic acid in the market is not too high. This research was done to optimize the production of lactic acid using mixed culture of facultative anaerobic bacteria and banana stem waste (BSW) as the substrate. The inoculum used for this research was probiotic milk drink (PMD). The fermentation process was done by varying the temperature and the fermentation time in 250 mL Erlenmayer flask.
