examining something... how would one go about extracting malic acid? SWIM never really thought about it beofre because there was never really a use, but it could come in handy soon, and so it would be nice to know.

Do you mean mandelic acid or maleic acid (German: maleinsaeure)? Never heard before "malic acid".

Malic acid is 'apfelsäure' (DL-2-hydroxy-butanedioic acid).

afaik the correct term is "äpfelsäure".
(äpfel=plural of apfel)
this is consistent with "zitronensäure".
edit: bullshit, both names are correct. google first, post later

Thank you for the explanation. Is this a useful compound in clandestine chemistry?

Malic acid can be bought from brew suppliers. Just use the phone directory for your region and use the index for brew suppliers/shops.
they have other things at these places if you go there, really useful things for amatuer chemistry, little and big.

After driving up and down to every health food store in the area, SWIM returned with a wide variety of organic foods, but no malic acid. Tomorrow, he will take a trip to the brewery store, and hopefully have more luck.
Thanks!
