40520-93-2 - Introduction
DL-MALIC ACID DISODIUM SALT, chemical formula C4H4Na2O5, is an organic compound, often used as a food additive. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
DL-MALIC ACID DISODIUM SALT is a colorless crystalline powder-like substance that is soluble in water. It is acidic and can react with alkali to form malic acid. It is also an optical isomer, and because it contains a mixture of the two configurations of DL, it is not optically active.
Use:
DL-MALIC ACID DISODIUM SALT is widely used in the food industry as a sour taste regulator, deoxidizer and antioxidant. It can be used in beverages, fruit juices, cakes, ice cream and other products to increase acidity and extend the shelf life of the product.
Preparation Method:
DL-MALIC ACID DISODIUM SALT is usually formed by the reaction of malic ACID with sodium bicarbonate, followed by acidification and crystallization. The specific preparation method can be adjusted according to actual needs.
Safety Information:
DL-MALIC ACID DISODIUM SALT is widely accepted in food and is considered a safe food additive. It does not cause significant toxic or Irritant reactions to the human body. However, individuals may be allergic to it or to certain ingredients, causing an allergic reaction. Therefore, when using this compound, appropriate safe operating procedures should be followed to avoid contact with skin, eyes or respiratory tract.
