KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid organic compound made by the living organisms that gives a tart and sour taste to the fruits. Malic acid is naturally found in fruits such as grapes, apple, watermelon, and cherries and is widely used as a flavouring agent or acidulant in the food and beverage industry following their extraction from the fruits. It is used in various fruit and vegetable juices, jams, wines, soft drinks, and candies to improve its tartness and sweetness.
