DL-Lactide e faʻaaogaina e gaosia ai le 2-hydroxy-propionic acid 1-(1-phenyl-ethoxycarbonyl) -ethyl ester. O lo'o galue o se mea mata'utia taua ma se mea fa'aoga vavalo e fa'aoga i le fa'aogaina o meaola, vaila'au, vaila'au fa'ato'aga ma vali. E a'afia i le enzymatic alcoholysis e maua uma ai le alkyl (R) -lactates ma le alkyl (S,S) -lactyllactates.
O le DL-Lactide e masani ona faʻaaogaina e fai ma puipui puipui i paʻu manuʻa, poʻo ni taula, sikulima poʻo le mata i taotoga, talu ai e faʻaleagaina pe a ma le ono masina i le lactic acid innocuous.
