Properties and stability

1. Avoid contact with alkalis, oxidants, reducing agents, alkali metals, and amines.

2. Exist in flue-cured tobacco leaves, burley tobacco leaves and smoke.

3. Naturally found in immature apple, hawthorn, and grape juice.

Storage method

Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Protect from direct sunlight. The packaging is sealed. It should be stored separately from alkali metals, oxidizing agents and reducing agents, and avoid mixed storage. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills.

Synthesis method

1. Microorganisms (or enzymes) convert fumaric acid to produce L-malic acid

Microorganisms such as Brevibacterium flavum and Brevibacterium ammoniagenes can all convert fumaric acid. It is malic acid. First, the raw material fumaric acid and calcium carbonate are reacted to generate calcium fumarate, which is then processed through a conversion column (37°C) to generate calcium malate. After extraction, L-malic acid is obtained, and the conversion rate can reach 98%.

2. One-step fermentation of a single strain to produce L-malic acid

Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus flavus and other microorganisms can ferment sugar raw materials to produce L-malic acid, using rice sugar As raw material, Aspergillus flavus (ASP Flavus UVT3) was used and fermented in a 500L fermentation tank with ventilation and stirring for 40 hours. The acid production rate was 4.4%~4.95%, and the sugar conversion rate was 68%~75%.

3. Two-step mixed fermentation to produce L-malic acid

First, the rootless root enzyme R25 is cultured in a medium containing 12% glucose to accumulate fumaric acid. , and then inoculate Proteus vulgaris P1 and continue fermentation for 2 days, the production of L-malic acid can reach 5.2~5.48g/100ml, and the sugar conversion rate is 86.7%~91.3%. Using 18% dried potato powder can replace the culture medium containing 12% glucose, and the production of L-malic acid can reach 5.47g/100ml.

The fermentation broth is diluted and filtered. The clear liquid is concentrated under reduced pressure, cooled and crystallized to obtain calcium malate. It is hydrolyzed with sulfuric acid to obtain L-malic acid, which is exchanged with 732 resin. The eluent is then used with 301 anion resin. Exchange the malic acid serum. Finally, the finished product is obtained by concentration under reduced pressure, cooling and crystallization, and recrystallization.

Reaction process:

4. 1. Isolate malic acid from immature apples; industrially, it is mainly produced by catalytic oxidation of benzene to generate maleic anhydride, and then reacting with water under high temperature and pressure.

Purpose

1. Malic acid is an internationally recognized safe food additive used as a sour agent, preservative and pH adjuster. Its sour taste is soft and long-lasting, and its sour taste is 20% stronger than citric acid. It can be used in various types of food and can be used in appropriate amounts according to production needs.

2. Used in the manufacture of esters; used as complexing agents and flavoring agents. Used as food additives and pharmaceutical raw materials.

3. It is widely used in fruity flavors and is a good product for preparing refreshing drinks and ice cream.
