Production of Lactic Acid: Artificial Vs Natural
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. As with most things in the twenty-first century, the production of lactic acid has become the latest victim of progress. The natural process that produces the fermented composition of lactose (milk sugar) is no longer considered economically feasible in its current state, inasmuch as it can be reproduced at a rate that is both faster and cheaper. Critics contend that while this technological breakthrough may be beneficial in some ways, it is not looked upon as a advancement toward better nutrition or a plus for the environment. Their claim is that while the ongoing pursuit of bioengineering may produce a viable form of lactic acid, the very process of extracting this substance is what remains in question.
