Malic acid is a 2-hydroxydicarboxylic acid (succinic acid) in which one of the hydrogens attached to a carbon is replaced by a hydroxy group. Referred as hydroxybutanedioic acid, 2-hydroxysuccinic acid, by malic acid manufacturers. A (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen atoms) compound contains hydroxyl (-OH) & carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups. Industrially, malic acid is prepared through chemical synthesis or microbial fermentation, often using Aspergillus niger. Universally preferred in food industry as an acidulant & flavour enhancer, in cosmetics for its exfoliating properties, and in pharmaceuticals to aid in the formulation of effervescent tablets, metabolic research and biotechnological applications in R&D. We are the leading malic acid, L-malic acid, D-malic acid supplier worldwide with reliable lead times and global supply capability.
