Abstract: Lactic acid is extensively used in food, agriculture, feed, pharmaceutical and commodity industries. Now there are emerging uses as a potential feedstock for the biodegradable polymer industry and there are the potential of becoming a very large volume. The microorganisms breeding being used for lactic acid fermentation, the raw materials, the various novel fermentation processes and its processing methods have been reviewed. It is hotspot of all the world attention to develop new technology to produce high optically pure,high yield and high product titers L-lactic acid.

Key words: L-lactic acid, application, production technology
