D-(+)-Malic acid（Cat No.:R006890）is the dextrorotatory enantiomer of malic acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid involved in the citric acid (Krebs) cycle. It plays a key role in energy metabolism and is found in various fruits, contributing to their tart taste. D-(+)-Malic acid is widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries as an acidulant, flavor enhancer, and pH regulator. It appears as a white crystalline solid, is highly soluble in water, and exhibits mild acidity. Its chirality makes it valuable in stereoselective synthesis and biochemical research.
