Answer:

Lactic acid is produced in the biological system during fermentation by an enzyme – lactate dehydrogenase. It is used in making dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, food preservatives, and chemicals. Thus, we can say that lactic acid is a very important chemical compound for many biological systems.
