Organic acid lactic acid

The weak organic acid, lactic acid, has a pIQ of 3-86. During strenuous exercise, lactic acid can accumulate in muscle cells to produce fatigue. If the ratio of the conjugate base form lactate to the conjugate acid form of lactic acid in muscle cells is approximately 100 to 1, what would be the pH in the muscle cells ... 

Different other wastes can also be considered [27], such as carbohydrates molasses, starch and whey [69], cellulose hydrolysates [e.g., paper industry waste) alcohols wastes from biodiesel production, methanol plus glycerol, methanol fats and oils lipids from plant and animal wastes organic acids lactic acid from the dairy industry. 

Most of the energy comes from the assimilation of numerous organic substrates, sugars, amino acids and organic acids. Lactic acid bacteria are chemo-organotrophic organisms. The oxidation of these... 

In similar work, Sturgeon et al. [125] compared direct furnace methods with extraction methods for cadmium in coastal seawater samples. They could measure cadmium down to 0.1 pg/1. They used 10 pg/1 ascorbic acid as a matrix modifier. Various organic matrix modifiers were studied by Guevremont [116] for this analysis. He found citric acid to be somewhat preferable to EDTA, aspartic acid, lactic acid, and histidine. The method of standard additions was required. The standard deviation was better than 0.01 pg/1 in a seawater sample containing 0.07 pg/1. Generally, he charred at 300 °C and atomised at 1500 °C. This method required compromise between char and atomisation temperatures, sensitivity, heating rates, and so on, but the analytical results seemed precise and accurate. Nitrate added as sodium nitrate delayed the cadmium peak and suppressed the cadmium signal. 

The main product of anaerobic degradation of sugars by these organisms is lactic acid. Other products of bacterial carbohydrate metabolism include extracellular dextrans (see p. 40)—insoluble polymers of glucose that help bacteria to protect themselves from their environment. Bacteria and dextrans are components of dental plaque, which forms on inadequately cleaned teeth. When Ca salts and other minerals are deposited in plaque as well, tartar is formed.

It was reported (14) that the adaptive enzyme from Lactobacillus plantarum could decarboxylate oxaloacetic acid as well as malic acid. However, in the same organism, Nathan (30) carried this work further and showed that the oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity is not related at all to the malic acid-lactic acid transformation activity. She based this conclusion on the ability of malic and oxaloacetic acids to induce oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity as well as malic enzyme activity. In her words,...

Tissue ischemia may result from many causes in general, hypoperfusion leads to hypoxia of cells, which results in anaerobic metabolism with the attendant accumulation of organic (mainly lactic) acids. The kidneys (and brain) are especially sensitive to hypoperfusion, such that acute renal failure often is a contributing factor m the high anion gap metabolic acidosis associated with global tissue ischemia (as may occur in major trauma). 

Beef carcasses have been effectively treated using a steam vacuum (Kocevar et al., 1997). The organic acids, lactic or acetic acid, are usually applied by using a spray cabinet (Bolton, Doherty, and Sheridan, 2001). However, a number of problems have been identified with the application of the steam vacuum, such as ...

The gases evolved in sauerkraut are mainly carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. The organic acids, succinic acid, acetic acid in addition to lactic acid are formed. However, lactic acid is the main acid formed. 

The use of two types of liquid membranes is described in [302] liquid emulsion membranes (LEMs), and supported liquid membranes (SLMs), where isoparaffin or kerosene and their mixtures were used as organic phases. A surfactant of the type of Span 80 served as emulsifier. LEMs are used, for example, for selective separation of L-phenylalanine from a racemic mixture of L-leucine biosynthesis as well as conversion of penicillins to 6-APA (6-aminopenicillanic acid). SLMs have a higher stability. A number of their commercial applications have been studied, e.g. in separation of penicillin from fermentation broth, as well as in the recovery of citric acid, lactic acid and some aminoacids. Compared with other separation methods (ultrafiltration, ultracentrifugation and ion exchange), LEMs and SLMs are advantageous in the separation of stereospecific isomers in racemic mixtures. 

Aliquat 336 is a commercially available extractant, extensively applied as a carrier in PlMs, which also has plasticizing properties. For this reason, it is frequently used in the manufacturing of PlMs without the addition of a separate plasticizer [17,18], Aliquat 336-based PlMs have been applied to the extraction and/or transport of anionic complexes of mainly heavy metals (e.g., As(V), Au(lll), Cd(ll), Co(ll), Cr(Vl), Cu(ll), Ni(ll), Pd(ll), Pt(lV), Re(Vll)), common anions (e.g., 1 , SCN ), and organic compounds (e.g., small saccharides, amino acids, lactic acid, thiourea) [2,3], Moreover, it has been recently employed in a PVC-based template for the preparation of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). The nanoparticles were formed either in the bulk of the PIM or as a layer on the PIM surface by loading the membrane with AuClJ by anion-exchange, followed by in situ reduction with BH4 [19,20] or EDTA [21]. Capriquat is another liquid anion-exchanger similar in composition to Aliquat 336 with the major component being trioctylmethylammonium (TOMA) chloride [22]. 

With this scenario in mind, the development of lesser known organic acids and acid blends, such as lactic acid and sorbic acid, to ensure product differentiation is expected to be boosted. Furthermore, novel applications, in the form of blends with non-acid ingredients, represent other potential growth sectors.

The world market for chemicals produced by fermentation methods is predicted to be about 44 billion by 2012, with more than half of that amount involving ethanol fermentation. A short list of economically important materials other than foodstuffe produced by fermentation methodologies includes bulk antibiotics, alcohols (ethanol, butanol, and so on), enzymes, organic acids (amino acids, citric acid, lactic acid, and others), vitamins, polymers, and biogums.
