| malic | <chemistry> Pertaining to, or obtained from, apples; as, malic acid. Malic acid, a hydroxy acid obtained as a substance which is sirupy or crystallized with difficulty, and has a strong but pleasant sour taste. It occurs in many fruits, as in green apples, currants, etc. It is levorotatory or dextrorotatory according to the temperature and concentration. An artificial variety is a derivative of succinic acid, but has no action on polarized light, and thus malic acid is a remarkable case of physical isomerism. Origin: L. Malum an apple: cf. F. Malique. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| malic acid | HOOC-CH2-CHOH-COOH; hydroxysuccinic acid;an acid found in apples and various other tart fruits; an intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, the glyoxylate cycle, and in a shuttle system. Synonym: monohydroxysuccinic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Mallotus |
The capelin (Mallotus villosus M?ler 1776) is a small fish of the smelt family found in the Arctic Ocean in large quantities. In summer, it grazes on dense swarms of plankton at the edge of the ice shelf. Larger capelin also eats a great deal of krill and other crustaceans. Whales, seals, cod and seabirds all prey on capelin in particular during the spawning season of the capelin while it migrates southwards. ...

| maltose |
Maltose (known as malt sugar) is a disaccharide (sometimes called di-glucose). It is formed from two glucose molecules joined together at carbons one and four by a glycosidic bond. It is the beginning of an important biochemical series, as more glucose units are added it becomes malto-triose, malto-tetrose, and so on. Long chain molecules of glucose are called dextrins or malto-dextrins. ...
