L-Malic Acid can be widely found in vegetables and fruits, especially in apples, bananas, oranges, beans, potatoes and carrot. As our body only contains malic dehydrogenase, so we can only make full use of L-Malic Acid. And L-Malic Acid is a vital product of our food additives and food ingredients. It can be used in the processing and concoction of beverage, liqueur, fruit juice and the manufacture of candy and jam etc. It also has effects of bacteria inhibition and antisepsis and can remove tartrate during wine brewing.
