So, what is sodium malates?
Sodium malates are a food ingredient used as a acidity regulator, flavor enhancer, and preservative. They are a combination of malic acid and sodium, which can be naturally found in fruits like apples and grapes. Sodium malates are commonly used in the food industry to give a sour taste to processed foods, such as fruit juices, canned fruits, and confectionery. They are also used in the production of sports drinks and energy bars, as they provide a slow and steady release of energy. Sodium malates are generally recognized as safe by regulatory bodies and are considered a healthy alternative to other synthetic food additives.
