The function of malic acid as food additive

Introduction: malic acid has a certain fresh-keeping function in food, so malic acid is also a kind of food additive Its function can deodorize, strengthen and reduce salt In recent years, the problem of food additives has been deeply concerned by everyone Many manufacturers add certain food additives in the process of production and research and development of food, and there are many kinds of food additives Take the apple vinegar we often drink, when it contains certain food additive malic acid So what is the function of malic acid food additive? Now, please introduce it in detail Malic acid is the circulating intermediate of biological tricarboxylic acid It tastes close to natural fruit juice and has natural flavor Compared with citric acid, malic acid has higher acidity (20% stronger than citric acid), lower heat, softer taste (with higher buffer index), longer retention time, special flavor, no harm to mouth and teeth, metabolism is conducive to amino acid absorption and fat accumulation It is a new generation of food acidizing agent, known as "the most ideal food acidizing agent" by the biological and nutritional circles Malic acid is widely used in many kinds of food, such as wine, beverage, jam, chewing gum, etc it has become the third-largest consumption of food acidizing agent after citric acid and lactic acid, and is one of the organic acids with the largest consumption and better development prospects in the world food industry at present Malic acid can be added to cool drinks, powder drinks, lactic acid drinks, milk drinks and juice drinks to improve their taste and flavor In addition, when there is a certain amount of pectin and sugar, the acid is the key condition for the formation of the gel In order to prevent flocculation and clot in the production of concentrated fruit juice, it is necessary to control the coagulation conditions caused by pectin L- malic acid can make pectin gel, so it can be used to make fruit cake, jelly gelatin jam and fruit paste To sum up: what we said above is "the role of malic acid food additives" Malic acid can not only be added to food, but also be used in medicine For example, malic acid can play a role in the process of making pharmaceutical preparations, tablets and syrup Malic acid can also be found in chemical products, daily chemicals and food preservatives So malic acid has a wide range To learn more about food additives and food safety, you can directly log in to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
