Abstract:
The bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass for lactic acid production had great meaning to saving foodstuff, protecting environment and developing lactic acid industry. The research progress of lactic acid production from lignocellulose, including the pretreatment of raw materials, the enzymatic hydrolysis and lactic acid fermentation, was reviewed. It was pointed out that the main objectives of the current researches were to improve the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis and reduce the production cost. The integration of new technologies was necessary for the acceleration of its industrialization.
