Description

Malic Acid NF

Malic Acid NF is a high-purity organic dicarboxylic acid used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food formulations as an acidulant, pH adjuster, and flavor enhancer. Compliant with National Formulary (NF) standards, it is widely utilized for its clean tart taste and buffering capability in regulated applications.
Malic Acid is chemically designated as Hydroxybutanedioic Acid. It appears as a white crystalline powder that is freely soluble in water and soluble in alcohol. It exists naturally in many fruits and contributes to sour flavor profiles and acid balance.
In pharmaceutical and related applications, Malic Acid NF is used in:
• Oral liquid formulations as a pH adjuster
• Effervescent tablets and powders
• Flavor-enhanced syrups and chewable dosage forms
• Nutritional and electrolyte products
• Buffer systems and stability optimization
• Research involving acid-base balance and formulation compatibility
Malic Acid NF functions by donating protons to adjust formulation pH and enhance stability of pH-sensitive active ingredients. Its buffering properties and mild acidity make it suitable for oral dosage forms and palatable preparations.
CarboMer supplies Malic Acid NF with defined assay, impurity profile, and consistent crystalline characteristics suitable for regulated pharmaceutical and food-grade manufacturing.
The material meets NF monograph specifications and is appropriate for controlled production environments.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers to maintain integrity and prevent moisture uptake. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Documentation includes Certificate Of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and full traceability.
Each batch is tested for identity, assay, water content, heavy metals, and microbial limits where applicable. Technical support is available to assist with formulation design and pH optimization.
As with all CarboMer supplied acidulant and excipient materials, Malic Acid NF is supported by dependable global supply, rigorous quality systems, and expert technical guidance to ensure consistent and reliable performance across pharmaceutical and food applications.
