About Lactic Acid
Lactic acid is an organic compound produced through bacterial fermentation of carbohydrates, primarily used in food preservation, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biodegradable polymer manufacturing. International trade typically involves food-grade (>80% purity) and technical-grade (>50% purity) forms, with liquid concentrates representing the most common traded format. China, India, and Thailand dominate global production and export volumes, leveraging cost-effective corn and sugarcane feedstocks. Buyers should verify fermentation source documentation, as non-GMO and plant-based certifications command significant price premiums in European and North American markets; additionally, pH stability during transit affects final product performance in sensitive applications.
