Product Overview
Sodium Malate Powder is a sodium salt of malic acid commonly used as an acidity regulator, buffering salt, and functional food additive.
It is usually supplied as white crystalline powder, and buyers often review CAS number, assay, solubility, pH behavior, sodium content, heavy metals, microbial limits, and documentation scope before technical or commercial evaluation.
It is commonly considered for beverages, confectionery, seasoning blends, food processing, and premix systems, with sample supply and batch documentation available for sourcing reference.
Applications
Beverage Systems
Used where acidity regulation, buffering, and smooth sourness adjustment are required in suitable beverage formulas.
Confectionery and Candy
Supports acid balance and taste adjustment in confectionery, gummies, and candy systems when a malic acid salt is preferred.
Seasoning and Premix Systems
Used in seasoning powders, dry blends, and premixes as an organic acid salt for acidity balance and formula support.
Food Processing Applications
Reviewed where pH adjustment, buffering, and malic acid salt functionality are required.
How to Choose the Right Grade / Form
Food Additive Grade
For food and beverage applications, choose food additive grade sodium malate supported by COA, SDS/MSDS, specification sheet, and relevant food-grade documentation.
Beverage Grade
For beverage systems, review solubility, pH behavior, taste impact, clarity, and compatibility with flavors and sweeteners.
Premix and Confectionery Grade
For dry premixes or candy systems, review particle size, moisture control, flowability, and blending compatibility.
Confirm Specification
Confirm whether the project requires sodium malate, disodium malate, sodium DL-malate, or another malate salt, and verify destination-market requirements.
Technical & Formulation Notes
Technical Notes
Sodium malate is used where mild acidity regulation, buffering behavior, and water solubility are required in food and beverage systems.
For procurement review, buyers should confirm CAS number, assay, pH value, solubility, sodium content, heavy metals, microbial limits, and destination-market food additive compliance before order confirmation.
Manufacturing & Process
Commercial sodium malate powder is typically produced from malic acid through controlled neutralization, crystallization, drying, sieving, and packaging under suitable manufacturing conditions.
Batch consistency should be evaluated through appearance, identification, assay, pH, loss on drying, heavy metals, and microbiological testing according to the agreed specification.
Compatibility / Formulation Notes
For beverage systems, evaluate solubility, pH impact, sourness profile, and compatibility with sweeteners, flavors, minerals, preservatives, and color systems.
For confectionery and gummies, review acid balance, moisture behavior, texture impact, and finished-product stability before commercial production.
For seasoning blends and dry premixes, particle size, flowability, moisture control, and uniform dispersion should be reviewed.
Sodium malate should not be assumed to perform exactly the same as malic acid, sodium citrate, or monosodium fumarate; pilot testing is recommended.
Extended QC & Test Items
Extended quality review may include appearance, identification, assay, pH value, solubility, loss on drying, residue on ignition, heavy metals, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, total plate count, yeast and mold, E. coli, Salmonella, and particle size where required.

FAQ
1) What is Sodium Malate Powder?
Sodium Malate Powder is the sodium salt of malic acid used as an acidity regulator, buffering salt, and functional food additive in suitable food, beverage, confectionery, and premix systems.
2) What is the CAS number of sodium malate?
The commonly referenced CAS number for sodium DL-malate is 676-46-0. Buyers should confirm CAS number, specification, assay, and regulatory identity before order confirmation.
3) Is sodium malate used as a food additive?
Yes. Sodium malate is associated with food additive use and acidity regulator functionality. Buyers should still confirm local permissions and use limits for the destination market.
4) What is the difference between sodium malate and malic acid?
Sodium malate is a sodium salt of malic acid. Compared with malic acid, it may offer different solubility, pH behavior, sodium contribution, and buffering performance.
5) What documents can Lifeworth provide?
Available documents may include COA, SDS/MSDS, TDS or specification sheet, allergen statement, GMO statement, heavy metal information, microbial results, and other project-related documents where applicable.
