Malic Acid Overview

Malic Acid, also known as Hydroxybutanedioic Acid, is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in apples, grapes and several other fruits. It is generally supplied as a white crystalline powder with a clean, tart taste. Commercially, it is available in different stereochemical forms, including L-Malic Acid and DL-Malic Acid.

In flavour applications, Malic Acid is valued for its ability to provide a lasting sour sensation and enhance fruity flavour profiles. It is also used as an acidity regulator in suitable food and beverage products. The appropriate grade and stereochemical form should be selected according to the intended application and regulatory requirements.
