Malic Acid Encapsulated - 3.2 oz

Some candies whisper “tart.” This one announces it. LorAnn Encapsulated Malic Acid is made for makers who want a bold, lingering sour finish on gummies, licorice, jellies, lollipops, and other pucker-forward treats.

Why Encapsulated Malic Acid

Malic acid delivers a sharper, longer-lasting sour sensation than citric-style tartness. Because it’s encapsulated in a non-reactive fat coating, it’s designed to stay put during storage and handling, then deliver that sour pop as your candy is eaten rather than triggering unwanted reactions in your batch.

Where It Shines

Use it anywhere you want a confident sour profile: sour-sanded gummies and candies, dried fruit coatings, seasoning blends, bakery applications, and even cocktail rims for a controlled, bright punch.

Usage Tips

For gummies: Mix the encapsulated malic acid directly with sanding sugar, then coat your finished gummies.

For hard candy: Sprinkle onto candy while it’s still warm. Mixing into sugar for hard candy isn’t recommended, as it can soften the finished candy through sugar inversion.

For cocktail rims: Blend with sugar or salt to dial in a smoother, more controlled sour experience.

Important Note

Before sanding, be sure your finished product has a water activity of 0.55 or below to help prevent weeping.
