DL Malic Acid E Number: E296 | CAS No.: 6915-15-7 Supplier

DL-Malic Acid, E296 food additive, CAS no.617-48-1, is widely used as acidity regulator. Compared with citric acid, E296 acidity regulator DL malic acid has a higher acidity (the acidity is 20% stronger than citric acid), but acidity regulator 296 has a soft taste (with a higher buffer index), a special flavor, does not damage the mouth and teeth, is metabolically beneficial to the absorption of amino acids, does not accumulate fat, is a new generation of food acid, and is praised as "the most ideal food acid" by the biological and nutritional circles.

Acidity Regulator E296 Food Additive DL-malic acid vs Malic Acid

Acidity regulator 296 DL-malic acid and malic acid are closely related, but with a key difference in their structure:

Malic Acid: This is a general term that can refer to both L-malic acid and D-malic acid, which are mirror images of each other at the molecular level (stereoisomers).

L-malic acid powder is the naturally occurring form found in fruits and vegetables like apples, grapes, and cherries.

D-malic acid is much less common in nature and is typically produced synthetically.

Acidity regulator 296 DL-malic Acid: This is a specific type of malic acid that is a 1:1 mixture of L-malic acid and D-malic acid. Acidity regulator 296 is produced synthetically through a process called racemic mixture.
