Malic Acid is commonly found in tart fruits and drinks; it's the substance that gives them their sour taste. First, Malic Acid is used in flavoring. This is added to many foods and candies to give them some tart taste. Candies with fruity-taste usually rely on Malic Acid. Secondly, Malic Acid can be used as blood pressure-lowering supplement. In 2009, the study of Malic Acid that was published by a group of doctors in the "Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition" suggested that malic acid is beneficial in lowering blood pressure. Third, Malic Acid is used in skin peel-supplement. Malic acid is a common ingredient in chemical peels. A chemical peel is applied to the skin to burn away the first layer of dead skin, leaving smooth, fresh skin underneath. Lastly, Malic Acid is used in tooth cleaning. Dentists commonly use malic acid as a cleansing agent on a tooth before filling a cavity. The malic acid removes any particles of food left behind, and leaves a completely clean surface for the dentist to work on, all while being safe for to swallow in small amounts. [1]
