Product Introduction

DL-Malic Acid is a white crystalline powder, highly hygroscopic, and characterized by a distinct refreshing sour taste. As a dibasic organic acid, it is widely utilized as an acidulant in the food industry to enhance flavor, serves as a pH regulator in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and functions as a metal cleaning agent and buffer in the chemical industry.

Product Application

(1) Food industry: As an acidulant, its sour taste is soft and long - lasting, which can give foods and beverages a natural sour taste and improve the taste. It is often used in products such as fruit juices, beverages, candies, and canned foods. Meanwhile, it can also be used as an antioxidant to prevent the oxidation and deterioration of food ingredients and prolong the shelf life.

(2) Pharmaceutical industry: It can be used as an excipient in drug formulations to adjust the pH value, improve the stability and solubility of drugs. In addition, it participates in the metabolic process in the body and can be used as a carrier of active ingredients in some drugs to promote drug absorption.

(3) Daily chemical industry: Added to oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash, it can improve the taste and flavor of products. In skin - care products, DL - Malic acid can be used as a pH regulator and also has a certain moisturizing effect, which helps maintain the water balance of the skin.

(4) Chemical industry: It is an important raw material for the synthesis of organic compounds such as esters and alcohols. It can also be used as a chelating agent for metal ions in water treatment to prevent the formation of scale. It can also be used for metal cleaning and polishing to remove rust and dirt from the metal surface.

Product Function

(1) Acidity - providing function: It has a typical sour taste, which can provide a soft and long - lasting sour flavor. It can adjust the acidity of foods, beverages, etc., improve the taste, and make the products have a pleasant flavor.

(2) Metabolic function: It participates in the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the body and is an important intermediate product of cell energy metabolism, which helps the body absorb and utilize nutrients.

(3) Moisturizing function: It has a certain hygroscopicity and can absorb water in the air. In cosmetics and skin - care products, it can play a moisturizing role, helping to maintain the water content of the skin and keep the skin moist and smooth.

(4) Antioxidant function: It can be used as an antioxidant. By reacting with oxygen or free radicals, it can inhibit the oxidation and deterioration of components in foods, drugs, etc., and prolong the shelf life of products.

(5) Complexing function: It can complex with metal ions. In the chemical industry, it can be used for the removal or separation of metal ions. In the food industry, it can prevent adverse reactions caused by metal ions.
