DL-Malic Acid Powder

DL-Malic Acid Powder

Food-Grade Acidity Regulator & Flavouring Ingredient

Catalog Number: ASC-1038

Overview

DL-Malic Acid is a high-purity organic acid supplied as a white to nearly white crystalline powder or granules with a clean, strongly acidic taste. It is a racemic mixture of D- and L-malic acid, providing consistent acidity and flavour performance across a wide range of formulations.

Due to its excellent solubility, smooth tart profile, and reliable pH-adjusting properties, DL-Malic Acid is widely used in food and beverage manufacturing, cosmetic formulations, and industrial and laboratory applications where controlled acidity is required.
