Acid whey is an environmentally hazardous waste which is a by-product produced in the dairy industry. Due to the high lactose content, the waste can be used as a raw material for lactic fermentation process, where it is converted further to lactic acid using lactic acid bacteria. This publication is a literature review on lactic acid fermentation process and includes description of own research on efficiency of lactic acid fermentation of lactose, obtained from spent whey, to lactic acid.
Keywords: lactic acid, lactic acid bacteria, acid whey
