DescriptionL-Lactic acid, also known as L-lactate or L-milchsaeure, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha hydroxy acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituted with a hydroxyl group on the adjacent carbon. L-Lactic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). L-Lactic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
