Product Introduction
Encapsulated malic acid is a coated acidulant designed to deliver a pleasant, fruity sour taste while helping control acid release. The protective coating can reduce moisture absorption and limit premature reactions with other ingredients. Performance depends on the coating material and processing conditions.
Applications
- Sour Candies and Gummies: Used in sour coatings to provide tartness and help reduce moisture-related stickiness.
- Confectionery: Enhances fruity flavors and supports a controlled sour taste profile.
- Powdered Drink Mixes: Suitable grades provide acidity while helping limit unwanted reactions during dry storage.
- Seasoning Blends: Adds a tangy flavor to dry seasoning mixes and snack coatings.
