Pertaining to, or obtained from, apples; as, malic acid.
{Malic acid}, a hydroxy acid obtained as a substance which is
sirupy or crystallized with difficulty, and has a strong
but pleasant sour taste. It occurs in many fruits, as in
green apples, currants, etc. It is levorotatory or
dextrorotatory according to the temperature and
concentration. An artificial variety is a derivative of
succinic acid, but has no action on polarized light, and
thus malic acid is a remarkable case of physical
isomerism.
