Lactic acid is one of the essential platform chemicals, and despite the availability of a range of downstream processes, its effective recovery is still elusive. A phase partitioning process using n-butanol and a chaotropic salt ammonium sulphate was developed to recover lactic acid from the fermentation broth of Lactobacillus pentosus SKL-18. During the optimization of various process parameters, the extraction medium's pH was found to be critical, with 2.5 being the best. The optimized process resulted in a lactic acid yield of 86% and found it to be 93% pure. The purity and characteristics of lactic acid were confirmed by FTIR and NMR spectra. This solvent based extraction procedure is an economical and straightforward downstream process for purifying lactic acid produced from agroand bakery-residues. The pure lactic acid can further be used for enzymatic synthesis of high value-added product PLA, a biodegradable and biocompatible plastics.
