L-malic acid is an important component of natural fruit juice. Compared with citric acid, it has high acidity (acidity is 20% stronger than citric acid), but soft taste (has a high buffer index), special flavor, does not damage the mouth and teeth, is conducive to amino acid absorption in metabolism, does not accumulate fat, and is a new generation of food acid flavor agent. Known as "the most ideal food acid" by the biological and nutritional circles, it is replacing citric acid in food for the elderly and children since 2013.
