Lactic acid production from waste bread
Original language description
Lactic acid is organic acid traditionally used in food and pharmaceutical industries. It has great potential in producing the biodegradable plastics. Polylactic acid (PLA) is alternative to traditional plastics but its large-scale application is limitedby high price of lactic acid production. Optimization of fermentation and searching of cheaper raw materials may be useful for reducing costs of production. Food waste offers interesting composition to be a suitable fermentation feed. Mainly bakery wasteoffers good composition for fermentation. Because of it we tried to use waste bread as raw material for lactic acid production. Traditional lactic acid producers have optimal temperatures of growing and fermenting about 30 to 40?C. It means that raw material have to be sterilized. Therefore we tried to fermentation with thermotolerant Bacillus coagulans. Its advantage is that grows and ferments at temperatures from 50 to 60 ?C. The other benefits are simple nutrition requirement and pro
