Lactic acid 80%
Definition
Lactic acid 80% refers to a solution of lactic acid that contains 80% concentration of lactic acid in water or another solvent. Lactic acid is an organic acid naturally found in various fermented products, such as yogurt, and is also produced in muscles during exercise. In the case of an 80% concentration, the solution is quite strong and is often used in industrial, cosmetic, or chemical applications, such as pH regulation, cleaning agents, or as an exfoliant in skincare treatments.
This high concentration is typically not for direct consumption and is handled with caution due to its acidic nature. It’s important to dilute or neutralize it for most practical uses to avoid irritation or damage.
Description
Application
-
- Pharmaceutical and biomaterial applications: L-(+)-Lactic acid enhances M2 macrophage polarization through regulation of the PCK2/AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway in poly-L-lactic acid membranes, indicating its vital role in biomedicine and materials science (Tang et al., 2024).
-
- Agricultural biotechnology: The induction of defense responses in tobacco against Phytophthora nicotianae by L-(+)-Lactic acid underscores its potential application in agricultural biotechnology for plant disease management (Yan et al., 2024).
