Notes:
A HPLC method using an aqueous mobile phase containing the chiral ligand-exchanger Cu II-L-valine complex at pH 5.5 with a polystyrene divinyl-benzene copolymer column was used to resolve D-malic acid in apple, pear, and Concord grape juices. D-malic acid was detected and quantitated at 330 nm in less than 15 min per sample. The detection limit appeared to be 2 mg/100 mL D-malic acid in 12 Brix juice, or 0.33% total malic acid in a typical apple juice containing 0.6 g/100 mL using the described procedure.
