These groups are -COOH.
Malic acid, also shown as E296 when used as an additive ingredient
malic
citric acid
Tartaric acid is present there. Its also present in grapes. Tartaric acid is present there. Its also present in grapes.
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.

Malic acid is present in apple juice.
Two acids present in tomato are citric acid and malic acid.
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.
Malic Acid, Citric acid, Isocitric Acid, Succinic Acid and Fumaric Acid.
citric acid
Tartaric acid is present there. Its also present in grapes. Tartaric acid is present there. Its also present in grapes.
Ascorbic acid is present in tomatoes.Oxalic acid, though, is the main acid in tomatoes.Tomatoes contain citric, malic, oxalic, succinic, glycolic, tartaric, phosphoric, hydrochloric, sulphuric, fumaric, ascorbic, pyrrolidinonecarboxylic and galacturonic acids. The most abundant are citric and malic acids.
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.
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.
