Abstract

This study describes the synthesis of D-lactic acid from rice by fermentation using microorganisms. Some micro-organisms were found to be active for producing D-lactic acid of high optical purity after an intensive screening test for D-lactic acid bacteria using glucose as substrate. Rice powder was hydrolyzed with a combination of enzymes:α-amylase,β-amylase, and pullulanase, and the resultant rice saccharificate was subjected to the fermentation with the selected D-lactic acid bacteria. After the optimization of this fermentation it has been confirmed that D-lactic acid can be manufactured in a pilot scale.
