Proceso por el cual el ácido málico(presente en la pulpa de muchas frutas) se transforma químicamente en ácido láctico; por medio de bacterias de origen láctico existentes de forma natural en el entorno, o en el interior de la fruta misma. En el caso del proceso de vinificación la fermentación maloláctica es objeto de interés.
