The casein in [[fermented]] [[milk]] is coagulated (curdled) by &#039;&#039;&#039;lactic acid&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> Although it can be fermented from [[lactose]] (milk sugar), most commercially used &#039;&#039;&#039;lactic acid&#039;&#039;&#039; is derived by using bacteria such as Bacillus acidilacti, Lactobacillus delbueckii or Lactobacillus bulgaricus to ferment [[carbohydrates]] from nondairy sources such as [[cornflour]], [[potatoes]] and [[molasses]]. Thus, although it is commonly known as &quot;milk acid&quot;, vegan products can contain &#039;&#039;&#039;lactic acid&#039;&#039;&#039; as an ingredient.<br /> <br /> Lactic acid may also be found in various processed foods, usually either as a pH adjusting ingredient, or as a preservative (either as [[antioxidant]] or for control of pathogenic micro-organisms). It may also be used as a fermentation booster in [[rye]] and [[sourdough bread]]s.<br /> <br /> Lactic acid is also present in [[wheat]] [[beers]], especially lambic, due to the activity of Pediococcus damnosus.<br /> <br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Dairy products]]<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/lacticacid|#lacticacid]] [[Special:Search/potatoes|#potatoes]] [[Special:Search/lactose|#lactose]] [[Special:Search/dairyproducts|#dairyproducts]] [[Special:Search/rye|#rye]] [[Special:Search/cornflour|#cornflour]] [[Special:Search/fermented|#fermented]] [[Special:Search/molasses|#molasses]] [[Special:Search/antioxidant|#antioxidant]] [[Special:Search/beers|#beers]] [[Special:Search/yogurt|#yogurt]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
