Product Description:

L-(-)-Diisopropyl malate, also known as diisopropyl L-malate, is an ester derivative of L-malic acid. It is a chiral compound with the CAS number 83541-68-8. Its structure consists of the L-malic acid backbone esterified with two isopropyl groups. This compound is primarily utilized as a food additive, specifically functioning as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer. Its application leverages the natural sour taste profile of malic acid in a more lipophilic form. Furthermore, due to its humectant and skin-conditioning properties, it finds use in cosmetic formulations as a moisturizing agent and emollient, contributing to skin hydration and texture improvement. The diisopropyl ester form can offer advantages in terms of solubility and volatility compared to the parent malic acid, making it suitable for specific formulation needs in both the food and personal care industries.
