<p>A method is described for producing lactate or lactic acid from a plant extract, such as oil palm frond extract, via fermentation. In particular, the method comprises a) providing a plant extract having a liquid phase, wherein the liquid phase of the plant extract contains 0.5-9.5 wt.% of fermentable sugars; b) providing a fermentation medium comprising at least 25 wt.% of the plant extract; c) fermenting the fermentation medium by means of a lactic acid producing microorganism in the presence of a caustic magnesium salt to provide a fermentation broth containing magnesium lactate; and d) recovering lactate or lactic acid from the magnesium lactate containing fermentation broth.</p> |
