Lactic acid (2-hydroxypropanoic acid) was discovered and isolated in 1780 by the Swedish chemist Scheele in sour milk. It was first commercially produced in USA in 1881. Its early utilization was in the leather and textile industries. Lactic acid is widely used in the food industry as an acidulant, preservative, precursor for stearoyl-2-lactylates. Perhaps its greatest industrial potential is for biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid. Lactic acid can be produced by chemical synthesis or by fermentation.

What is the chemical that causes pain?
I think it might be Lactic acids
What is natural acid?
the natural acids are acids which are not much toxic . they are naturally available like lactic acid
What muscles are overworked soreness is caused by a buildup of what?
when soreness occurs, it is because of a build-up of lactic acids.
Does protein become amino acids?
Through lactic acid fermentation.
What functional group does lactic acid contain?
Lactic acid contains a hydroxyl (-OH) group, which is a characteristic of carboxylic acids.
What acids are present in sweat?
The main acids present in sweat are lactic acid and amino acids. Lactic acid is produced when muscles break down glucose for energy during exercise, while amino acids are naturally occurring compounds in the body. These acids contribute to the slightly acidic pH of sweat.
Who was lactic acid bacteria discovered?

Where does the sour taste come from in foods such as chesee and yogurt?

What is in the acid of soda?
Acids in soft drinks are mostly phosphoric and citric. You can also use malic and lactic acids, depending on local legislation.
What is the end product of fermentation in animals?
It produces Lactic Acids, ethanol, hydrogen gas, Sugar, Carbon Dioxide.
