Novel Enzymatic Production of L-Malic Acid as an Alternative Acidulant to Citric Acid

Study of an enzyme membrane reactor with immobilized fumarase for production ofL-malic acid

“…In order to make it useful, it is enzymatically converted to L-malic acid, which is more soluble, and is used as an acidulant in fruit and vegetable juices, jams, infant foods, etc. (Giacobbe, 1980;Milson, 1987).…”
