Dipotassium Malate

Dipotassium malate is the dipotassium salt of malic acid, supplied by Nustras as a white powder and used as a source of the mineral potassium and as an acidity regulator in supplements, foods and beverages. Malic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in many fruits; its fully neutralised potassium salt is readily soluble in water and has a mild, clean taste.

It is formulated into electrolyte and sports-nutrition powders and drinks, into potassium and multimineral supplements in tablet, capsule and powder form, into mineral premixes, and into foods and beverages where it serves as a potassium source, buffering agent or acidity regulator alongside other malates and citrates.

The material is a white to almost white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. CAS number 585-09-1, molecular formula C4H4K2O5, molecular weight 210.27. Potassium content, malic acid content, loss on drying and pH are standardised to specification; identity and assay are confirmed by titration or ion chromatography, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies dipotassium malate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Potassium malate is an accepted food additive and mineral source in major markets; buyers confirm the elemental-potassium contribution, grade and permitted level for their application.
