Malic acid has a sharper, longer-lasting sour character than citric acid, making it a strong choice for candies that need more than a quick burst of tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard malic acid, this version is coated with a non-reactive fat layer that helps keep the acid from interacting with other ingredients before the confection is eaten. This encapsulation helps reduce issues such as sugar inversion that can cause candies to soften, melt, or develop surface moisture, while preserving that concentrated sour impact for the finished treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuggested Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it for sour-coated gummies and candies, dried fruit, seasoning blends, bakery applications, and cocktail rims.
