Chemical Structure

Basic Info
L-Malic Acid is used widely in the food and beverage industries as an acidifier. L-Malic Acid has a long lasting sour flavor that is 20% stronger than the citric acid. When combined with artificial sweeteners, it can maintain the taste of fruit juice and eliminate any aftertaste. It can replace citric acids in beverages and food to regulate the sourness. L-Malic Acid is also one of the most important hubs for the human tricarboxylic cycle, and it has a number of unique physiological functions.
L-Malic Acid, which is naturally produced by the body, plays an important role in cellular production of energy. L-Malic calcium is also present in the body and it transports metal ions as a complex form. It can therefore be used to prevent and treat age-related osteoporosis that is caused by calcium deficiencies.
L-Malic Acid is a powdery white or crystalline powder that has a distinct sour flavor.
Apples contain the highest amount of L-Malic Acid, which is why it has this name. Other plants like lemons, grapes and strawberries also contain it.
L-Malic Acid can be produced by chemical synthesis. It is widely used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
