APPLICATIONS

– Acidity regulator: Malic acid is used to adjust the pH level in various products. It adds acidity to fruit juices, soft drinks, jellies, marmalades, and other confections.

– Flavoring agent: It is widely used as an additive to improve the taste and aroma of products such as jams, sauces, marmalades, and other sweet or sweet-sour dishes.
