Malic Acid

Malic acid, a natural fruit acid primarily found in apples, serves multiple purposes in the world of food and beverages. As a food-grade powder, it acts as a natural souring agent and preservative, enhancing the sour flavor in candies and imparting a vinegar-like taste to potato chips and various snack foods. In the realm of winemaking, Malic acid plays a distinct role by lowering pH levels, especially in Gewurztraminer, Muscat, and Reisling wines, where Tartaric acid may not be suitable. However, it's important to note that you should avoid adding malic acid to wines that undergo malolactic fermentation. To maintain its quality, store this product in a cool, dry place, without the need for refrigeration or freezing. It is proudly a product of the USA, although it's important to be aware that it is processed in a facility that handles dairy, soy, peanuts, and wheat products.
