Advances in L-Lactic Acid Production from Lignocellulose Using Genetically Modified Microbial Systems.. Lactic acid is a vital organic acid with a wide range of industrial applications, particularly in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biomedical sectors. The conventional production of lactic acid from refined sugars poses high costs and significant environmental impacts, leading to the exploration of alternative raw materials and more sustainable processes. Lignocellulosic biomass, particularly agro-industrial residues such as agave bagasse, represents a promising substrate for lactic acid production. Agave bagasse, a by-product of the tequila and mezcal industries, is rich in fermen…

Vodka (Polish: wódka [ˈvutka]; Russian: водка [ˈvotkə]) is a clear distilled alcoholic beverage. Its varieties originated in Poland and Russia. Vodka is composed mainly of water and ethanol (alcohol), sometimes with traces of impurities and flavourings. Traditionally it is made by distilling liquid from fermented cereal grains and potatoes since the latter was introduced in Europe in the 18th century. Some modern brands use maize, sugar cane, fruit, honey, or maple sap as the base. Since the 1890s, standard vodkas have been 40% alcohol by volume (ABV), or 80 U.S. proof. The European Union has established a minimum alcohol content of 37.5% for vodka. Vodka in the United States must have a mi…
