What is Malic Acid?
Malic Acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in apples and many other fruits. It contributes to the sour taste in fruit and is widely used in food and beverage applications as an acidulant, pH adjuster, and flavor enhancer. Malic acid exists in two isomeric forms, but only the L-isomer is naturally present and metabolized by the body. Commercial malic acid is often a racemic mixture.
