L-Sodium Malate is a food-grade sodium salt of L-malic acid, used as an acidity regulator, flavour enhancer and buffering agent in food and beverage applications.We supply bulk L-Sodium Malate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for global food and beverage producers. Our L-Sodium Malate is widely used in beverages, flavour enhancer, jams and preserves, processed foods and confectionery acidulant.
L-Sodium Malate is produced by neutralising L-malic acid with sodium hydroxide. It provides a smooth, tart flavour profile and serves as a buffering agent that maintains stable pH in food systems.
Used in beverages, confectionery, jams, and processed foods as a cleaner alternative to DL-sodium malate. It retains the natural L-isomer preferred in food applications.
