Malic Acid
Malic acid is an organic compound with the formula C4H6O5. It is a dicarboxylic acid that is made by all living organisms, contributes to the pleasantly sour taste of fruits, and is used as a food additive. Malic acid has two stereoisomeric forms. Malic acid is in three forms in nature, i.e. D-malic acid, L-malic acid and their mixtures DL-malic acid. It’s a white crystal or crystalline powder. It has strong moisture absorption, soluble in water and ethanol.
