About this title

Synopsis

A thorough history. Lactic acid's chemistry has posed problems that required the large-scale preparation of the acid for study; its manufacture is a complicated process involving many subdisciplines of the science of chemistry; its use encompasses many fields of industrial activity and important aspects of food manufacture and use.

Review

'The book should be of particular interested to industrial chemists and biotechnologists, and to historians of technology, biotechnology, microbiology, applied chemistry, agricultural economics and politics. The general reader should also appreciate the broad historical context.....' American Scientist 80 1992
