[Product Benefits]
1. L-Malic Acid serves as a pH regulator, enhancing flavor quality, boosting antioxidation to prevent food spoilage, stabilizing color, reducing turbidity, and strengthening gelling properties. The addition of L-Malic Acid significantly masks the bitterness and enhances the saltiness of low-sodium salts.
2. L-Malic Acid improves exercise performance through the tricarboxylic acid cycle pathway, primarily by increasing the activity of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenases. This leads to a rapid increase in tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, thereby enhancing the rate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and ATP production.
