Abstract
The invention provides a particulate composition comprising at least 1 wt. % of malate particles, said malate particles having a diameter of 50 to 1000 μm and comprising at least 70 wt. % of co-crystal of malic acid and alkali metal hydrogen malate. Co-crystals of malic acid and alkali metal hydrogen malate can be produced in the form of powders that exhibit very low hygroscopicity and that are capable of imparting a sour flavour that is very similar to that of malic acid. The invention also relates to the use of the aforementioned malate particles as a food ingredient.
