IN FOOD, DL-MALIC ACID (CAS 6915-15-7):
DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) was first isolated from apple juice by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1785.
Antoine Lavoisier in 1787 proposed the name acide malique, which is derived from the Latin word for apple, mālum—as is its genus name Malus.
In German it is named Äpfelsäure (or Apfelsäure) after plural or singular of a sour thing from the apple fruit, but the salt(s) are called Malat(e). 

DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) is the main acid in many fruits, including apricots, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, grapes, mirabelles, peaches, pears, plums, and quince, and is present in lower concentrations in other fruits, such as citrus. 
DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) contributes to the sourness of unripe apples.

DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) is present in grapes and in most wines with concentrations sometimes as high as 5 g/L.
DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) confers a tart taste to wine; the amount decreases with increasing fruit ripeness. 

The taste of DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) is very clear and pure in rhubarb, a plant for which it is the primary flavor. It is also the compound responsible for the tart flavor of sumac spice. 
DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) is also a component of some artificial vinegar flavors, such as "salt and vinegar" flavored potato chips.

The process of malolactic fermentation converts DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) to much milder lactic acid. 
DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) occurs naturally in all fruits and many vegetables, and is generated in fruit metabolism.
DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7), when added to food products, is denoted by E number E296. 

DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) is sometimes used with or in place of the less sour citric acid in sour sweets. 
These sweets are sometimes labeled with a warning stating that excessive consumption can cause irritation of the mouth. 

DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) is approved for use as a food additive in the EU, US and Australia and New Zealand (where it is listed by its INS number 296).
DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) contains 10 kJ (2.39 kilocalories) of energy per gram.

PRODUCTION AND MAIN REACTIONS OF DL-MALIC ACID (CAS 6915-15-7):
Racemic DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) is produced industrially by the double hydration of maleic anhydride. In 2000, American production capacity was 5,000 tons per year. 

The enantiomers may be separated by chiral resolution of the racemic mixture. 
S-Malic acid is obtained by fermentation of fumaric acid.
Self-condensation of malic acid in the presence of fuming sulfuric acid gives the pyrone coumalic acid:

2 HO2CCH(OH)CH2CO2H → HO2CC4H3O2 + 2 CO + 4 H2O
Carbon monoxide and water are liberated during this reaction.

DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7) was important in the discovery of the Walden inversion and the Walden cycle, in which (−)-malic acid first is converted into (+)-chlorosuccinic acid by action of phosphorus pentachloride. 

Wet silver oxide then converts the chlorine compound to (+)-malic acid, which then reacts with PCl5 to the (−)-chlorosuccinic acid. 
The cycle is completed when silver oxide takes this compound back to (−)-malic acid.
L-malic acid is used to resolve α-phenylethylamine, a versatile resolving agent in its own right.

Soil supplementation with molasses increases microbial synthesis of DL-Malic acid (CAS 6915-15-7). 
This is thought to occur naturally as part of soil microbe suppression of disease, so soil amendment with molasses can be used as a crop treatment in horticulture

ETYMOLOGY OF DL-MALIC ACID (CAS 6915-15-7):
The word 'malic' is derived from Latin mālum, meaning 'apple'. 
The related Latin word mālus, meaning 'apple tree', is used as the name of the genus Malus, which includes all apples and crabapples; and is the origin of other taxonomic classifications such as Maloideae, Malinae, and Maleae.

BIOCHEMISTRY OF DL-MALIC ACID (CAS 6915-15-7):
L-Malic acid is the naturally occurring form, whereas a mixture of L- and D-malic acid is produced synthetically.
Malate plays an important role in biochemistry. 
In the C4 carbon fixation process, malate is a source of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. 

In the citric acid cycle, (S)-malate is an intermediate, formed by the addition of an -OH group on the si face of fumarate. 
It can also be formed from pyruvate via anaplerotic reactions.
Malate is also synthesized by the carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate in the guard cells of plant leaves. 

Malate, as a double anion, often accompanies potassium cations during the uptake of solutes into the guard cells in order to maintain electrical balance in the cell. 
The accumulation of these solutes within the guard cell decreases the solute potential, allowing water to enter the cell and promote aperture of the stomata.
