Sugar concentration from sugarcane juice and yeast autolysate increased lactic acid production more than the other agro-industrial substrates tested. The concentrations of these two components were further optimized using the Plackett-Burman design and response surface method. A second-order polynomial regression model estimated that a maximal lactic acid production of 66.

- L(+)-Lactic acid is important in various industries, including pharmaceuticals and biodegradable plastics, and this study focused on producing it using cassava wastewater with Lactobacillus rhamnosus B 103.
- The addition of Tween 80 and corn steep liquor to cassava wastewater resulted in a high lactic acid yield, reaching 41.65 g L(-1) after 48 hours of fermentation.
- This research highlights the feasibility of using cassava wastewater for lactic acid production, marking an innovative approach as there are no prior studies on this specific substrate for such a purpose.
