Malic Acid enhances tartness and flavor in beverages, candies, and dairy products while improving stability. This naturally-occurring fruit acid provides smooth, lingering sourness that enhances fruit flavors and overall taste complexity. Its flavor-enhancing properties and slower dissolution rate create prolonged taste sensation, particularly valuable in hard candies and beverages. Industry Applications: Beverage formulation, hard candy production, fruit processing, wine manufacturing, and sour confectionery development.
