Linked from

The 22 pages that link to Lactic acid, each with the reason it gives.

• Lactic acidosisRelated: The familiar name can mislead: lactate, not persistent lactic acid, is measured in blood.

• Lactic acid bacteriaRelated: Its accumulation gives these bacteria their defining fermentation product and lowers environmental pH.

• Salicylic acidCompared with: It exfoliates skin like salicylic acid but is water-soluble and chemically distinct.

• Short-chain fatty acidCompared with: It is a microbial fermentation product often discussed alongside short-chain fatty acids, but is not one.

• MonomerBroader topic: Lactic acid is a feedstock for a biodegradable polyester.

• LactateCompared with: At biological pH, this acid exists predominantly as its conjugate base, lactate.

• Malic acidCompared with: It is the product of malolactic fermentation and has one fewer carbon atom.

• 800 metresRelated: High-intensity running raises lactate and associated metabolic strain during the race.

• Malolactic fermentationRelated: It is the less acidic product of malic acid conversion.

• Polylactic acidBroader topic: Its molecules can be linked directly into PLA or converted first into lactide.

• Wine acidityRelated: Malolactic fermentation converts sharper malic acid into this milder acid.

• Glycolic acidCompared with: Its extra methyl group makes it larger than glycolic acid and alters skin penetration.

• Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricusRelated: Its accumulation lowers milk’s pH and gives yogurt its sourness.

• MoisturizerRelated: Lactic acid products combine water-binding effects with loosening of surface scale.

• Organic acidBroader topic: It connects organic-acid chemistry to fermentation and biodegradable polymer production.

• Propionic acidCompared with: It shares propionic acid’s carbon count but includes a hydroxyl group instead of a terminal methyl group.

• Butyric acidCompared with: Both can arise from microbial metabolism, but lactic acid carries a hydroxyl group.

• Keratosis pilarisRelated: It can smooth rough patches by loosening surface cells.

• StereocenterBroader topic: Its central carbon is a straightforward example of a tetrahedral stereocenter.

• Yogurt starter culturesRelated: Its accumulation lowers milk’s pH and helps form yogurt’s characteristic texture.

• RhizopusRelated: Rhizopus strains can produce lactic acid from sugars in industrial fermentation.

• Otto Fritz MeyerhofRelated: Meyerhof measured its formation in working muscle and its fate during recovery.
