| Introduction |
Malic acid, also known as hydroxysuccinic acid, has three types due to its asymmetric carbon atom: L-malic acid, D-malic acid, and DL malic acid. L-malic acid is a product of the human tricarboxylic acid cycle, so the human body can only metabolize L-malic acid. L-malic acid is naturally present in fruits such as apples, grapes, and lemons. If extracted from fruits, the content is low and the cost is high, making it impossible to industrialize large-scale production. The only product produced by catalytic synthesis of fumaric acid (fumaric acid) is DL malic acid. As the human body cannot metabolize DL malic acid, although European and American countries allow DL malic acid as a food additive, people always feel unsafe. |
| Function |
| Energy production: Malic acid is a key component of the Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, which is the way cells in the body produce energy. Malic acid undergoes a series of enzymatic reactions in this cycle, ultimately producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy source for cells. Skincare: As an AHA, malic acid is a natural exfoliating ingredient in many skincare products, used to smooth fine lines, improve skin texture, cleanse pores, and enhance overall skin. It is commonly used to remove dead cells on the surface of the skin and adjust the pH value of the skin. It also has a slight astringent (firming skin) property, which helps to shrink pores and improve skin firmness. Oral health: Research has found that malic acid may be effective in treating dry mouth symptoms. A study involving 244 participants found that the use of oral spray containing 1% malic acid significantly improved their dry mouth symptoms. Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain condition, and malic acid may provide relief for fibromyalgia patients. A study in 1995 showed that long-term use of a combination of malic acid and magnesium can help alleviate pain in patients with the disease. |
| Application |
Food industry: Malic acid is used as a flavor enhancer and preservative in the food industry to increase the acidity and taste of food while extending its shelf life. It also has high solubility, maintaining high solubility even at low temperatures, and has low moisture absorption, making it suitable for use in brittle food products. Pharmaceutical field: malic acid can be used as pharmaceutical raw materials or excipients to manufacture oral solutions, injections, tablets, capsules and other dosage forms, and to treat hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, liver disease, cancer and other diseases. In the field of cosmetics:malic acid, as a cosmetic ingredient, has effects such as whitening, wrinkle removal, and firming, as well as moisturizing, antioxidant, and softening of the stratum corneum. In the agricultural field:malic acid can promote plant growth and increase yield, improve fruit quality and disease resistance. Industrial production: Malic acid is produced through microbial fermentation, which has the advantages of environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness, and has great potential in industrial production. Feed industry: Malic acid is also used in the feed industry as an additive. In the field of chemistry:malic acid is used as an intermediate or reactant in chemical synthesis. |
