Used as refreshing drinks (such as lactic acid bacteria drinks, milk drinks, soda, cola), frozen food (such as sherbet, ice cream, etc.), processed food (such as fruit wine, mayonnaise) sour agent, fruit drinks and other color preservation agent, preservative and egg yolk emulsification stabilizer. Applications also include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, dental cleansers, metal cleaners, buffers, anticoagulants in the textile industry, and fluorescent whitening agents for polyester fibers.
Malic acid consumption is slightly more than itaconic acid, but also a more widely used organic acid. Malic acid in the food industry, such as beverages, jams, jellies, fruit wine as sour agent; In the daily chemical industry used in toothpaste, cosmetics to improve quality; In medicine and amino acid compound into injection, as a nutritional solution after surgery, is also a good drug for patients with abnormal liver function; In addition, it is also used as a component of coatings, detergents and deodorants in the chemical industry.
Physical and chemical properties
White crystalline or crystalline powder. Malic acid contains a chiral carbon atom and has two enantiomers, left-handed malic acid and right-handed malic acid. Naturally occurring is L-malic acid, which is widely present in unripe fruits such as apples, grapes, cherries, pineapples, tomatoes; Dextromalic acid can be prepared by racemic splitting and is used only as an experimental chemical. Dl-malic acid is a colorless crystal. The relative density is 1.601, the melting point is 131 ~ 133ºC, and the decomposition is heated to 150ºC. Soluble in water, alcohol, slightly soluble in ether, insoluble in benzene. Easy deliquescence. This product is a strong acid, at 170ºC, the pH value of 0.1mol aqueous solution is 2.28, can damage mucous membranes and tooth enamel. Dl-malic acid and L-malic acid are safe and non-toxic. It can be used as a sour flavor agent for refreshing drinks. It can also be used in drugs, cosmetics, cleaning agents, whitening agents and so on.
