Malic acid, found in the pulp of immature hawthorn, apple and grape fruits. It can also be prepared from fumaric acid by biological fermentation. It is an important intermediate product of the internal circulation of the human body, easy to be absorbed by the human body, so as a food additive and functional food with excellent performance, it is widely used in food, cosmetics, medical and health products and other fields. Racemes can be prepared by fumaric acid or maleic acid under high temperature and pressure and water vapor under the action of catalyst.
Malic acid, also known as 2-hydroxysuccinic acid, has two stereoisomers due to the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom in the molecule. In nature, it exists in three forms, that is, D-malic acid, L-malic acid and its mixture DL-malic acid, which is white crystal or crystalline powder, has strong hygroscopic property, is easily soluble in water and ethanol, and has a special pleasant sour taste. Malic acid is mainly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Take DL-malic acid as the main raw material, using the patented technology and equipment, coated with edible hydrogenated oil. The acid taste releases out in a gentle and long-lasting way, and the coated product has a good anti-sticking effect.
Food additive : widely used in high-end beverage and food industries, and has become the third food acid agent after citric acid and lactic acid. Pharmaceutical industry : mixed into compound amino acid injection, to improve the utilization rate of amino acid
