Utilization of grape pomace for lactic acid production
Original language description
Residues remains after grape processing are called grape pomace. It includes pulp, seeds, skin and stems. The wine industry produces large quantities of pomace. It offers large potential of uses. Typically, it is composted or processed into animal feed. Also it could be used for extraction of grape seed oil and polyphenols. These applications have one disadvantage because of limited markets that can absorb only a small portion of the waste generated. Conversion of grape pomace into other valuable products promise different options. One of these valuable products could be lactic acid. It is organic acid usually used in food and pharmaceutical industries. Nowadays it has great potential as monomer for producing the biodegradable plastics. Polylactic acid (PLA) is suitable alternative to traditional plastics. Its large-scale application is limited by high price of lactic acid production. High price of production could be reduced by optimization of fermentation and searching of cheaper raw materials. We
