Alternative acidulants for flavor and pH.

What it is

Malic acid gives a smooth, lingering tartness. Fumaric acid is a strong acid that is slow to dissolve, which suits dry mixes.

What it does

Both lower pH. Malic is chosen for flavor; fumaric for strong acidity in powders without pulling in moisture.

Where it’s used

  • Treats: flavor and preservation in semi-moist treats.

  • Supplements: flavor in chewables.

  • Livestock feed: fumaric acid as a feed acidifier.

  • Dry food and wet food: limited use.
