Description

Dl-Malic Acid Monosodium Salt is the monosodium salt form of DL-malic acid, a versatile organic acid salt widely used as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer. Its primary commercial value lies in its ability to provide a smooth, lingering sourness and to synergistically enhance other flavors, making it a critical functional ingredient. This product is essential for manufacturers in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their formulations.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as an acidity regulator, flavor enhancer, and pH control agent in beverages (soft drinks, fruit juices), confectionery, jams, and dairy products.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a buffering agent and taste-masking component in effervescent tablets, syrups, and other oral dosage forms.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a pH adjuster and skin conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and cleansers.
• Industrial Applications: Employed in metal cleaning formulations, electroplating baths, and as a intermediate in chemical synthesis.
• Animal Feed Additive: Used as a feed acidifier to promote gut health and improve nutrient absorption in livestock.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption.
