Product description:

E296, commonly known as Malic Acid, is an organic compound naturally present in many fruits, especially apples, where it contributes to their characteristic tart flavor. The two main forms of Malic Acid are DL-Malic Acid and L-Malic Acid, each offering unique properties and applications in the food, beverage, and health industries.
DL-Malic Acid is a racemic mixture containing both D-Malic Acid and L-Malic Acid isomers. It is widely used in food and beverage applications due to its balanced and versatile acidity.
DL-Malic Acid provides a smooth and persistent sourness, ideal for candies, beverages, and fruit-based desserts.
Enhances flavor profiles by blending and rounding out harsh acidic notes, making it an excellent acidulant for processed foods.
Serves as a cost-effective alternative in products where natural L-Malic Acid may not be essential.
L-Malic Acid, the naturally occurring isomer, is often preferred for premium and health-oriented applications. It is found naturally in many fruits and vegetables and offers several functional benefits:
Natural Taste: Delivers a clean, refreshing, and natural tartness that enhances the flavor of juices, jams, and fruit-based snacks.
Improved Digestibility: Plays a role in metabolic processes, making it a valuable ingredient in nutritional supplements and health-focused beverages.
Compatibility with Natural Claims: Often labeled as a natural ingredient, it is ideal for clean-label products targeting health-conscious consumers.
