Malic acid History

 Malic acid (CAS NO.6915-15-7) was first isolated from apple juice by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1785. Antoine Lavoisier in 1787 proposed the name acide malique which is derived from the Latin word for apple, mālum.

Malic acid Specification

 Malic acid , its cas register number is 6915-15-7. It also can be called DL-Hydroxybutanedioic acid ; and Malate . It is hazardous, so the first aid measures and others should be known. Such as: When on the skin: first, should flush skin with plenty of water immediately for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Secondly, get medical aid. Or in the eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Then get medical aid soon. While, it's inhaled: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. Give artificial respiration while not breathing. When breathing is difficult, give oxygen. And as soon as to get medical aid. Then you have the ingesting of the product: Wash mouth out with water, and get medical aid immediately. Notes to physician: Treat supportively and symptomatically.
In addition, Malic acid (CAS NO.6915-15-7) could be stable under normal temperatures and pressures. It is not compatible with excess heat, reducing agents, bases, alkali metals, and you must not take it with incompatible materials, excess heat. And also prevent it to broken down into hazardous decomposition products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
