Importance of l-Malic acid on the human body

L-Malic Acid is an important organic acid produced in organisms metabolism process, it is an important middle product in three carboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) and branch acetaldehyde acid cycle metabolism process, as well as CO2 fixed reaction of middle product. It is an activity material exists within organisms cell. Its easy absorption can make it quickly through membrane go into mitochondria and directly participation energy metabolism.

Malic acid plays an important role in the transfer of cytosol and mitochondria reducing equivalents (NADH). Therefore,  l-Malic acid  in the body has great metabolism significance, as well as significant physiological functions. It can improve the performance effectively and has other physiological functions such as protecting the heart, promote metabolism of carboxylic acid salts, promotes mitochondrial respiration, improve memory, enhance calcium activity, reduce side effects of cancer drug, etc.

L-Malic acid in food, medicine, daily chemical sector uses are as follows: in food industry, it can be used for processing and configuration of beverages, wine, fruit juice, also used in candies, jam and other manufacturing, it has antimicrobial effects to food and can be used for yoghurt PH adjustment; in tobacco industry, malic acid derivatives such as esters can improve the tobacco aromas; in pharmaceutical industry. various tablets, syrup with Malic acid is fruit-flavored and is conducive to the absorption, diffusion; in daily-use chemical industry, it is good complexing agents, esters and used in toothpaste formulations, net dental plate, synthetic fragrances formulations, it also applied to deodorant and detergent ingredients.

Acid agent is an essential food additives.  Sour agents used flexibility and scientifically not only can play a role in season, but also make food products with the best flavor and texture. Besides, acidity agent  in improving the conditions of sterilization, oxidation, hydrolysis, foam play an essential role in the production process. L-Malic Acid has a promotional function to oxidation of citric acid salt, after fumarate and succinate salt convert to Malic acid can also stimulate the oxidation of citric acid, so it is mainly mediated by Malic acid. L-Malic acid can improve sperm mitochondrial pyruvate Dehydrogenase activity, so as to promote the uptake and use of Pyruvate. If you want to know more about chemicals, please read more here, thanks!
