Global L(+)-Lactic Acid Industry 2016 Market Research ReportChapters1 Industry Overview of L(+)-Lactic Acid01.1 Definition and Specifications of L(+)-Lactic Acid1.1.1 Definition of L(+)-Lactic Acid Lactic acid has a systematic name that is 2-hydroxypropionic acid, which is widely existed in nature. Lactic acid is formed when glucose is broken down for energy in the absence of sufficient oxygen. Lactic Acid is a transparent, colorless syrupy liquid produced from the fermentation of dextrose. It is odorless or has a slight characteristic odor, and has a mild acid taste.Lactic Acid is widely used as an acidulant in foods and beverages that require an edible non-volatile acid.

The commercial production of lactic acid is typically done by fermentation. There are two optical forms of lactic acid existing. This product is an acidity regulator with exfoliating and antibacterial properties. It can be used in a wide range of pharmaceutical industry as well as beauty and personal care products. 1.3 Applications of L(+)-Lactic Acid Table Applications of L(+)-Lactic AcidNo.ApplicationsDescription1PharmaceuticalIn the pharmaceutical industry, L(+)-lactic acid can be used directly for medical disinfectant. Using the characteristics of lactic acids hydrophilic, it can be combined with slightly solubility medicine, increasing the absorption of medicine and preventing the formation of side effects.2Home & personal careL(+)-lactic acid can be used in a wide range of beauty and personal care products. This special cosmetic grade of lactic acid satisfies customers needs for strict specifications and low odour requirements in sensitive cosmetic formulations.3Industrial ApplicationsIn the chemical industry, lactic acid can be the raw material to produce lactic acid derivatives. Using lactic acid and starch to manufacture generated mulching technology to substitute plastic film, it can be break down by bacteria and be absorbed by soil. The lactic acid is widely applied in industries such as leather, tobacco and cosmetics Leather, tobacco, cosmetics etc.4Food & BeverageBecause the L(+)-lactic acid has no side effects to human body, and easy to absorb, it can be participated directly in the metabolism, promote digestion and inhibit harmful bacteria in the intestines, these characteristics ensures that it can be widely used in food processing.5OthersClinical NutritionOTC, Food SupplementsSource: QYR Chemical & Material Research Center, Oct. 2016The natural L-lactic acid serial product produced by fermentation has been widely used in food additives, cosmetics, raw materials of medicine and chemical industry by the excellent quality of high purity and high optical purity.1.3.1 Food & BeverageLactic Acid standard can be used as acidulant, flavoring agent and pH regulator in beverages, meat, sourdough, salads and dressings, confectionery and pickled vegetables.Figure Food & Beverage Examples Source: QYR Chemical & Material Research Center, Oct. 2016Table Industrial Applications ApplicationApplicationFieldsFood & BeverageBaby Food, Infant FormulaBakeryCereals, SnacksConfectioneryDairyDesserts, Ice CreamFlavoursFruit Preparations, Sweet SpreadsFruits, VegetablesMeat, SeafoodReady Meals, Instant FoodSauces, Dressings, SeasoningsSoy ProductsAlcoholic BeveragesCarbonated Soft DrinksInstant Drinks, SyrupsJuice DrinksRTD Tea and CoffeeSports and Energy DrinksWatersSource: Above Companies, QYR Chemical & Material Research Center, Oct. 20161.3.2 Home & Personal CareThe market share for the Home & personal care is 8.65% in 2015.Table Home & Personal Care ApplicationApplicationFieldsPersonal CareColour Cosmetics Deodorants Fragrances Hair Care Oral Care Skin Care Soap and Bath ProductsCleaners & DetergentsDish Washing Industrial Cleaners Laundry Care Surface CareSource: QYR Chemical & Material Research Center, Oct. 2016Figure Home & Personal Care Example ExamplesSource: QYR Chemical & Material Research Center, Oct. 20161.3.3 Industrial ApplicationsIndustrial Applications represents 56.78% of the total L(+)-Lactic Acid demand.
