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 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.
