How is malic acid purified?

Malic acid can be produced in a pure form by crystallising it out of water when it has been made synthetically from maleic anhydride, which in turn is made simply from butane gas. This reaction process leads to a mixture of the two malic acid isomers. To purify the natural form of L-malic acid, it is necessary to remove it from apples or other fruits where malic acid is present in a high concentration. This can be done by fractionated distillation. Green apples are best for this since 90% of the acid present in them is malic acid.

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.


What is difference in malic acid and dl malic acid?

There are two different structures of malic acid, an L-isomer and a D-isomer. The only difference between the two is that they rotate the light shining on them in two different directions. L-Malic acid is produced naturally in fruits. 90% of the acid in apples is malic acid. When malic acid is produced synthetically, a mixture of the two isomers is obtained which is called DL-malic acid (because it contains both D- and L-malic acid). When you eat DL-malic acid, your body digests it in just the same way as it does for L-malic acid. It is part of the Krebs cycle.
