Lactic Acid and the Barley Free Diet

Lactic acid is an organic acid commonly found in fermented foods and used extensively in the food industry as a preservative, flavoring agent, or acidity regulator. It is produced both naturally through fermentation and synthetically. Naturally, lactic acid is generated by the fermentation of carbohydrates like glucose and lactose by lactic acid bacteria. Commercially, it is often manufactured synthetically, which typically does not involve corn, but organic production might involve corn fermentation.
