My favorite organic compound ②

 I will introduce second organic compound that I like!!! Second organic compound is malic acid. The molecule has carboxy and hydroxy which combine with the same carbon. Also, it is known as optical isomer. Optical isomer is a compound that has a carbon whose four substituents are different. This carbon is called asymmetric carbon atom. By the way, malic acid is used for acidulant and emulsifier. It is useful in our daily lives!!!
