Usage

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
DL-Lactic acid is used as an excipient for the formulation of pharmaceutical products, such as tablets and injections, due to its ability to enhance solubility and stability of active ingredients.
Used in Food and Beverage Industry:
DL-Lactic acid is used as a flavor enhancer and preservative in the food and beverage industry, providing a tangy taste and extending the shelf life of products.
Used in Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry:
DL-Lactic acid is used as a humectant and exfoliant in cosmetics and personal care products, helping to maintain skin moisture and promote cell turnover.
Used in Biodegradable Polymers:
DL-Lactic acid is used as a monomer in the production of biodegradable polymers, such as polylactic acid (PLA), which are used in packaging materials and medical devices due to their eco-friendly properties.
Used in Animal Nutrition:
DL-Lactic acid is used as a feed additive in the animal nutrition industry to improve animal health and performance by providing an energy source and supporting gut health.
Used in Sports Nutrition:
DL-Lactic acid is used as an ingredient in sports nutrition products, such as energy drinks and supplements, to help replenish energy levels and support muscle recovery after intense exercise.

S-2-Hydroxyacylglutathione-Derivatives: Enzymatic Preparation, Purification and Characterisation

S-2-Hydroxyacylglutathione derivatives have been prepared by enzymatic synthesis from α-oxoaldehydes and reduced glutathione in the presence of glyoxalase I.S-D-Lactoylglutathione, S-D-mandelylglutathione, S-glycolylglutathione and S-L-glyceroylglutathione were prepared from methylglyoxal, phenylglyoxal, glyoxal and hydroxypyruvaldehyde, respectively.They were purified by ion exchange chromatography on Dowex 1 on a gram scale.Analytical data and re-evaluated extinction coefficients for these compounds are presented.The method described provides a reliable, large-scale procedure for the preparation and purification of S-acylglutathiones of increasing biological and pharmacological interest.

Photosensitized NAD(P)H Regeneration Systems; Application in the Reduction of Butan-2-one, Pyruvic, and Acetoacetic Acids and in the Reductive Amination of Pyruvic and Oxoglutaric Acid to Amino Acid

The photosensitized formation of NAD(P)H by enzyme-catalysed processes has been accomplished.With Ru(bpy)32+ as sensitizer, methyl viologen, MV2+ as primary electron acceptor, and (NH4)3EDTA or 2- mercaptoethanol, NADPH is formed in the presence of ferredoxin NADP+-reductase as enzyme catalyst.Zinc(II)meso-tetramethylpyridiniumporphyrin, ZnTMPy4+ is used as sensitizer for the photoinduced production of NADH using the same components and lipoamide dehydrogenase as enzyme catalyst.The photoinduced NAD(P)H regeneration systems have been coupled to secondary enzyme-catalysed processes such as the reduction of butan-2-one to butan-2-ol, pyruvic acid to lactic acid, acetoacetic acid to β-hydroxybutyric acid, as well as to the reductive amination of pyruvic acid to alanine and of α-oxoglutaric acid to glutamine acid.The products exhibit high optical purity and the enzymes and the coenzymes show high turnover numbers and stability.
