Malic Acid, FCC Food Grade, Fine Crystals, 50 Lbs

Malic Acid, FCC Food Grade, Fine Crystals, 50 Lbs

Food-grade malic acid supplied as fine, uniform crystals for beverage production, food manufacturing, product development, research, and laboratory applications. The material has a fine crystalline texture while remaining visibly crystalline and is not a powder.

Malic Acid, FCC Food Grade, is a white, odorless acidulant with a smooth, clean, and persistent tartness. It is commonly used to enhance fruit flavors, balance sweetness, adjust acidity, and improve the overall flavor profile of food and beverage formulations.

Compared with some other food acids, malic acid provides a longer-lasting sour taste, high solubility, rapid dissolution, and relatively low hygroscopicity. Its fine crystalline form supports convenient handling, measuring, and incorporation into formulations.

It can be used alone or blended with other acidulants, including citric acid, to produce a more rounded and natural flavor profile.

Typical applications include fruit-flavored and functional beverages, powdered drink mixes, ciders, wines, confectionery products, chewing gum, compressed tablets, jams, jellies, fruit preparations, dairy-based products, frozen desserts, baked goods, snack coatings, and tomato-based sauces. Malic acid may also help stabilize calcium-fortified beverages by forming soluble calcium complexes.

This product is supplied in 50-pound bags for manufacturing use. Smaller 5-pound quantities may be available for sampling, evaluation, formulation work, research, and laboratory use.

The manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet identifies the product as malic acid intended for use as a food additive and confirms CAS Number 6915-15-7. The product is a white, odorless, water-soluble crystalline solid.
