Lactic acid From Agriculture Crop Residues

Utilization of renewable bioresources for the production of industrial products such as biofuels and biochemicals is one of the best alternative strategies for sustainable development. sugarcane crop residue (SCR) Banana crop residue (BCR) is one of such renewable substrates that are readily available widely. In the current work, the production of lactic acid (LA) from BCR by recently isolated Pediococcus pentosaceus HLV1 was studied. we found that lactic acid can be produced economically using locally available agriculture resources.
