Description

The process of malolactic fermentation converts malic acid to much milder lactic acid. Malic acid occurs naturally in all fruits and many vegetables, and is generated in fruit metabolism.

It is also used with or in place of the less sour citric acid in sour sweets. Is also used in personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical applications.
