Description

Lactic acid is a type of organic acid that forms in muscles during intense exercise when the body doesn't have enough oxygen to produce energy. It's also produced during certain metabolic processes, like fermentation. In food production, lactic acid is responsible for the tangy flavor in yogurt, cheese, and sourdough bread. It's used as a preservative and flavor enhancer in various food products. Additionally, lactic acid is utilized in skincare products for its exfoliating and moisturizing properties.
