Malic acid is used an acidulant, an antioxidant flavouring agent, a buffering agent, and a chelating agent. In pharmaceutical formulations, the substance is used as a general-purpose acidulant.

Malic acid is also used as an alternative to citric acid in effervescent powders, mouthwashes, and tooth- cleaning tablets. In addition, it has chelating and antioxidant properties and may be used as a synergist, with butylated hydroxytoluene, to retard oxidation in vegetable oils.
