Global Malic Acid Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Malic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound with the molecular formula C4H6O5. It belongs to the family of alpha-hydroxy acids and is found in various fruits, particularly in apples. Malic acid often occurs as a mixture of its two isomers, known as L-malic acid and D-malic acid. It appears as a crystalline solid with a sour taste. Malic acid is widely used in the food industry as a flavoring agent and acidulant due to its pleasant tartness. It is also used as a pH adjuster in cosmetic and personal care products. In addition to its culinary applications, malic acid plays a role in the Krebs cycle, a process in cellular metabolism that generates energy. It can also serve as a chelating agent, binding to metals and aiding in their removal or stabilization. Moreover, malic acid has been studied for its potential health benefits, such as promoting oral health, improving exercise performance, and acting as an antioxidant.
