MALIC ACID FOOD GRADE | Acidity Regulator, Additive, Preservative,
Assay% 99.0 – 100.5
Malic Acid is one of the main fruit acids, and is produced naturally in a range of fruits and vegetables, most notably in apples. Closely related to Citric Acid.
It has flavour enhancement abilities. Malic acid intensifies the impact of many flavours in foods or beverages, often reducing the amount of flavour needed. It can increase the aromaticity of some flavour notes in certain beverage applications, boosts savoury flavours like cheese and hot peppers in snack food coatings and deepens and broadens the flavour profile of many products.
Malic acid can also inhibit the growth of yeasts and some bacteria due to a decrease in pH.
