- Product Uses
- DL-Malic Acid, the natural acid constituent of apple, finds wide application in the food industry. Due to its compatibility with all types of flavour, the flavour enhancing property, the sharp, lingering acid taste and the high water solubility nature, it is ideally suited for the preparation of Juices, Soft drinks, Cider and Wines. Its’ non-hygroscopic, free flowing nature, makes it the preferred acid for dry squash juice mixes.
- When used in sugar confectionery, the low melting point of DL-Malic Acid gives greater clarity to the finished product. In cheese preparation, it increases the product yield.
- DL-Malic Acid is used in paneer preparation
- In diet products, it suppresses the bitter after taste of artificial sweeteners and reduces the amount needed, without affecting the sweetness.
- In fruit and vegetable canning, DL-Malic Acid is used for pH adjustment.
- In the edible oil processing/refining it is used to remove and control traces of metal impurities and as a synergist in admixture with antioxidants, to control rancidity.
- DL-Malic Acid is also used in Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Metal cleaning and Textile finishing.
