• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Lactic acid is a natural product that has been used for many years as an antimicrobial agent in wastewater treatment. It is also used in the food industry to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi, and as a preservative. Lactic acid has been shown to have a physiological effect on locomotor activity, which may be due to its ability to convert pyruvate into lactate. Lactic acid also inhibits the growth of some bacterial strains by increasing the disulfide bond formation between two cysteine residues. The sodium salt form of lactic acid is more soluble than the acid form and can be used as an experimental model for studying sodium-lactate interactions. Sodium lactate is used in maternal blood transfusions to increase blood pH levels during labor, and is also added to water vapor for humidification purposes.
