A chemical compound which appears under the form of a colorless or yellowish, syrupy, odorless, hygroscopic liquid, is miscible with water, alcohol, glycerol and furfural, insoluble in chloroform, petroleum ether and carbon disulfide, is partially converted to lactic anhydride when concentrated above 50%, has one asymmetric carbon and two enantiomorphic isomers, is derived by fermenting starch, milk whey, molasses, potatoes, etc. and neutralizing the acid as soon as formed with calcium or zinc carbonate, after which the solution of lactates is concentrated and decomposed with sulfuric acid, also synthetically by hydrolysis of lactonitrile, and is used in cultured dairy products, as an acidulant, in chemicals(salts, plasticizers, adhesives, pharmaceuticals), as a mordant in dyeing wool, as a general-purpose food additive and in the manufacture of lactates. 5, record 1, English, - 2%2Dhydroxypropanoic%20acid
