General description
Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that can be prepared by hydration of maleic acid or fumaric acid. Its ability to prevent the oxidative degradation of lipids has been assessed. The impact of malic acid in the alteration of calcium chloride crystal morphology has been studied. The dissolution kinetics of kaolinite in malic acid have been reported. This product is a high quality pharmacopoeia product that meets the testing specifications of USP (United States Pharmacopoeia). It can be employed in research and pilot studies.
