Abstract
The invention relates to a method for preparing an aqueous solution containing an alkali salt of glycolic acid and lactic acid, by treating an alkali salt of xylonic acid and/or arabonic acid in an aqueous solution in vitro with an enzyme system comprising a dehydratase, an aldolase, a glycolaldehyde dehydrogenase, a lactate dehydrogenase, and NAD+ as a cofactor, after which the enzyme system is separated.
