LACTIC ACID PRODUCTION FROM STARCH-BASED MATERIALS BY AMYLOLYTIC LACTIC ACID BACTERIA

摘要

The Invention pertains to a procedure for producing lactic acid or its salts. The procedure describes a simultaneously conducted saccharification of starch from a starch material and fermentation of sugars thereof into lactic acid by selected bacterium that produce amylolytic enzymes, which eliminates the need for the use of commercial enzymes as normally practiced in prior art.
