Production of L-lactic acid from Cassava peel wastes using single and mixed cultures of Rhizopus oligosporus and Lactobacillus plantarum
Production of L-lactic acid using cultures of Rhizopus oligosporus and Lactobacillus plantarum was investigated.Cassava peels were hydrolyzed by boiling for 1 h in either NaOH or HCl solutions Handheld Vacuum Battery Pack followed by neutralization to a pH of 6.2.Reducing sugar produced from the hydrolysates increased with increasing concentrations
