Malic Acid is an organic compound. 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 (L- and D-enantiomers), though only the L-isomer exists naturally. The salts and esters of malic acid are known as malates. The malate anion is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. Malic Acid contributes to the sourness of green apples. It is present in grapes and gives a tart taste to wine. When added to food products, Malic Acid is the source of extreme tartness. It is used with or in place of the less sour citric acid in sour sweets.
