What it is
Malic acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in fruits like apples. It is often produced commercially through chemical synthesis. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be produced by the skin when exposed to sunlight or obtained from certain foods and supplements.
Why it's used
Malic acid is used as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer, providing a tart taste in beverages, candies, and baked goods. Vitamin D3 is added to foods as a nutrient, primarily to fortify dairy products, cereals, and juices, helping the body absorb calcium.
Health notes
Malic acid is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. Vitamin D3 is also recognized as safe and is commonly added to foods to increase their nutritional value. Both ingredients have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA. While generally considered safe, excessive intake of any nutrient or additive can have unintended effects.
Allergen info
Malic acid is not derived from major allergens. Vitamin D3 is not a major allergen. Neither ingredient contains gluten.
