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.

– Antioxidant: Malic acid has antioxidant properties, which allows it to extend the shelf life of products and preserve their taste.

– Preservative: As part of fruit preserves or juices, malic acid helps to preserve the color and texture of products, and also prevents their oxidation.

– Soft drink and juice production: Malic acid is used to provide a characteristic sour taste in apple juices, carbonated drinks, lemonades, and other soft drinks.

– Confectionery production: It is used in the production of jellies, marmalades, pastilles, and other confectionery products to improve the texture and provide a sour taste.
