Impact of chemical components of organic wastes on L(+)-lactic acid production.

Lactic acid production from several organic wastes that had different chemical compositions was examined, and the factors strongly impacting yield were determined. The bioconversion of sugars to lactic acid was affected by the ratio of total sugars to total nitrogen content (the TS/N ratio), and was improved by nitrogen supplementation to adjust the TS/N ratio > or =10. Lactic acid yield was also affected by the fermentable sugars contents, i.e. various oligosaccharides constituted of mainly C6-sugars. The estimation of the fermentable sugars was determined by the total sugars content in starchy materials, such as kitchen wastes, but in lignocellulosic materials, the estimation was affected by the hemicellulose contents. The estimation model of the fermentable sugars was proposed by multivariate analysis using organic components as variables.
