L-Malic acid CAS#97-67-6
L-Malic acid is nearly odorless (sometimes a faint, acrid odor) with a tart, acidic taste. It is nonpungent. May be prepared by hydration of maleic acid; by fermentation from sugars.L-Malic acid is an organic acid that is commonly found in wine. It plays an important role in wine microbiological stability.
