Malic Acid

Malic Acid is used in the food and beverage industry as a flavor enhancer, acidulant, and pH regulator. It provides a tart, fruity taste in candies, beverages, and dairy products while improving flavor stability. Additionally, it enhances sourness in sour candies, extends shelf life in processed foods, and acts as a chelating agent in beverages.

Key Benefits and Uses of Malic Acid:

• Enhanced Sourness and Flavor Stability
  Provides a long-lasting, clean sour note without overpowering natural fruit flavors.

• pH Adjustment and Preservation
  Regulates acidity and helps preserve freshness by inhibiting microbial growth.

• Chelating Agent in Beverages
  Binds metal ions that could otherwise lead to flavor degradation or discoloration.

• Synergistic with Other Acids
  Boosts performance when used with citric, tartaric, or lactic acid in beverages and confectionery.
