Comparison of Molecular Weights of Food Acids One mole = 602, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 molecules Weight in grams of a mole = numerical value of the molecular weight One mole of Fumaric Acid = 116 grams One mole of Malic Acid = 134 grams One mole of Citric Acid (Anhydrous) = 192 grams One mole of Citric Acid (Monohydrate) = 210 grams Therefore the same number of molecules are in 134 grams of Malic Acid 192 grams of Citric Acid Malic Acid molecules are smaller than Citric molecules; therefore you get more molecules per kilogram with Malic than Citric.
