| 15 | − | Malic acid is an acidity regulator; First Sensations chewing gum lists it as "malik asit" among its acidity regulators.[^migros] | |
| 45 | + | Malic acid is the food acid behind the sharpness of unripe apples, rhubarb and grapes; Carl Wilhelm Scheele first isolated it from apple juice in 1785, and it is named after Latin *mālum*, apple.[^wikipedia] Added to food it is declared as E296, which the Food Standards Agency lists among the approved acids and acidity regulators[^fsa] and which stands in the EU Union list of permitted additives;[^eu1333] Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 specifies E 296 as hydroxybutanedioic acid, also called hydroxysuccinic acid.[^eu231] Commercial material is the racemic DL form, made by hydrating maleic anhydride, while the L-form is won by fermentation, so nothing animal-derived is involved.[^wikipedia] Packs declare it plainly: E296 among the acidity regulators of a Danish potato salad,[^gdsn] "malik asit" in a Turkish chewing gum.[^migros] | |
