Flagship Ingredient: Fuso Malic Acid
A high-purity form of L-malic acid used across beverages, electrolytes, nutritional supplements, and functional products. Naturally occurring in many fruits, malic acid provides a smooth, persistent tartness that enhances flavor depth, improves palatability, and supports balanced acidity in complex formulations.
Fuso Malic Acid is non-GMO and produced in Japan under rigorous quality and manufacturing controls.
Why Fuso® Malic Acid Stands Out
Exceptional Purity & Manufacturing Precision
Produced in Japan under high-control quality systems to deliver consistent chemical purity, batch reliability, and low impurity profiles suitable for demanding beverage and supplement applications.
Clean, Smooth Flavor Contribution
Provides a rounded, longer-lasting sourness compared to citric acid, supporting better flavor balance in hydration beverages, powdered drink mixes, and fruit profiles.
Functional Performance in Complex Systems
