Malic acid appears in the form of a white crystalline powder with a mild acidic taste, slightly stronger than citric acid. It has good solubility in water, but poor solubility in organic solvents. Malic acid is favored in the food industry due to its good sour taste characteristics and high safety.

Food grade malic acid has a wide range of applications in the food industry. It is mainly used as an acidity agent and can provide a fresh sour taste for products such as beverages, candies, jams, and dairy products. In baking products, it can be used as a leavening agent to help control acidity during the baking process. Malic acid can also be used in the manufacturing of healthy foods and nutritional supplements as a pH regulator or buffer to ensure product quality and stability. Due to its natural properties and health benefits, malic acid is becoming increasingly popular in the food additive market.
