What is the percentage of malic acid in apple?
Of all the acid in a green apple, malic acid makes up for 90% of it. The acid is the L-isomer exclusively.
What acid is present in apple?
Malic acid, also shown as E296 when used as an additive ingredient

Why is malic acid used for acidification of apple products?
Malic acid was first isolated from apples. Of the total acid content, 90-98% in an apple is malic acid. Apple-flavoured products have malic acid added to them because it makes the apple flavour taste more authentic. Malic acid also has the advantage of being a preservative to some degree because it lowers the pH and many bacteria do not survive outside of a neutral pH range. Finally, malic acid can also be used to keep the acidity of the product stable, so the flavour tastes the same for longer. In Europe, malic acid has the E number E296.
Is apple a strong or a weak acid?
Apples contain malic acid which is considered a weak acid. The pH of malic acid in apples is around 3.0 to 3.5.
What apples are the lowest in malic acid content?
The least sour apples are lowest in malic acid content. As a rule, of all the acid present in apples, 90 - 98% of it is malic acid. The acid gives the apple a sour but fresh, clean taste. New green apples tend to have more bite than red apples, so it is likely that they contain the least malic acid.
Which acid does apple have?
Apples are high in Malic acid, contain Ascorbic acid and Acetic acid
Is malic acid organic or inorganic?
All acids with a general formula of R-COOH are organic acids from a chemistry point of view. Malic acid can be extracted from apples or produced synthetically from butane gas. From a food legislation point of view: If the malic acid is extracted from an organic apple, it counts as organic malic acid. If the malic acid is extracted from an apple which has been treated with chemical pesticides or fertilisers, it is inorganic malic acid.
Is malic acid found in apple juice good or bad for your child?
Malic acid found naturally in apple juice will be the L-isomer exclusively. This is the natural form of malic acid. Synthetic malic acid - the acid which has been produced rather than extracted - is a mixture of the two isomers, named D-malic acid and L-malic acid. Since it is impossible to separate the two, the mixture is often referred to as DL-malic acid. Natural L-malic acid has been declared suitable for all ages. D-malic acid should not be given to very young infants because they have not yet developed the enzymes to utilise malic acid in the Krebs cycle (which is how older humans metabolise it). If the apple juice is marketed for infants, it will not have D-malic acid added to it and will therefore be safe. Malic acid which has been used as an additive will usually have the E-number 296 and is likely to be synthetic. Any malic acid can be considered as a flavour enhancer or a preservative and is neither good nor bad for your child so long as they are older than infant age and brush their teeth regularly.
