Description

The (R)-isomer of malic acid is the naturally occurring form found in fruits like apples and grapes. It plays a crucial role in the Krebs cycle, a central metabolic pathway in living organisms. It is also a key component of wines, contributing to its acidity and flavor. The (R)-isomer is synthesized commercially from fumaric acid via microbial fermentation. Studies on (R)-malic acid focus on its potential health benefits, such as its antioxidant properties and its ability to improve athletic performance. Its impact on taste and flavor is also a significant area of research, particularly in the food and beverage industry.'
