Lactic acid production from Kenaf fibre

Lactic acid is a useful polymer that can be applied in various purposes such as preservative, acidulant, and flavor in food, textile, and pharmaceutical industries, and a raw material for lactate ester, propylene gylcol, 2,3-pentanedione, propanoic acid, acrylic acid, acetalaldehyde, and dilactide...
