MEDIOCON INC – Lactic Acid is an organic alpha-hydroxy acid that occurs naturally in biological systems and is widely used across pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and chemical applications. In pharmaceutical formulations, Lactic Acid can function as an acidifying agent, pH adjuster, buffering component and formulation aid.
Lactic Acid is identified by CAS 50-21-5, with molecular formula C₃H₆O₃ and molecular weight 90.08 g/mol.
Lactic Acid is a hydroxy carboxylic acid containing both a hydroxyl group and a carboxylic acid group. It is commonly supplied as an aqueous solution in different concentrations and may exist in stereochemically defined L-(+)-lactic acid, D-(−)-lactic acid, or racemic forms depending on the manufacturing process and intended application.
For pharmaceutical applications, the exact concentration, stereochemical composition, purity and grade should be specified when purchasing the material.
