Pyruvic acid, an organic compound, holds significant significance in cellular metabolism. It serves as a intermediate in the citric acid cycle. Additionally, pyruvic acid participates in the synthesis of amino acids, fatty acids, and various other metabolic pathways. Its versatility is further demonstrated by its utilization as a substrate in enzyme assays and a reagent in organic synthesis. Moreover, pyruvic acid finds application in the production of environmentally friendly biodegradable polymers, including polylactic acid, as well as in the manufacturing of bioplastics and biofuels.
