Valorization of Agri-Food Waste via Fermentation: Production of l-lactic Acid as a Building Block for the Synthesis of Biopolymers

Global interest towards lactic acid production has recently significantly increased because lactic acid can be used as raw material for the production of polylactic acid (PLA), a polymer used in biodegradable plastics for its special, environmentally-friendly properties. However, the high production...
