General description
Malic acid is a C4 dicarboxylic acid generally used as an acidulant and flavor enhancer in food industries. It is also used in pharmaceuticals, textile finishing, metal cleaning, and in the synthesis of polymalic acid, a biodegradable polymer.
Application
L-(−)-Malic acid can be used as:
- A ligand for the synthesis of chiral triorganotin(IV) complexes.
- A substrate in the 60Co γ-irradiation studies using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique.
- A ligand in the complex formation studies with W(VI) using polarimeter and NMR.
- A starting material for the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid material named malic acid-layered double hydroxide (MA-LDH).
