## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Currently, the ‘green chemistry’ philosophy is being increasingly adopted by the chemical industry and, therefore, new production procedures of valuable chemicals from biomass‐derived raw materials are being sought. In this work, the synthesis of lactic acid from sorbito
Lactic acid can be used not only as a key substance in chemical synthesis, but also as a special agent in agriculture. For microbial production, original products of agriculture such as sweet sorghum stalks and rye grains can be used as raw material. In laboratory experiments, sweet sorghum stalks w
## Abstract A novel PLA‐based polymer containing reactive pendent ketone or hydroxyl groups was synthesized by the copolymerization of L‐lactide with __ε__‐caprolactone‐based monomers. The polymer was activated with NPC, resulting in an amine‐reactive polymer which was then cast into thin polymeric
