Acid-sanding, the coating of confectionery with a blend of sugar

and acid powder, offers unique opportunities for developing

exceptional products and differentiating confectionery brands.

However, it can be difficult to achieve optimal product stability

and taste, especially in sensitive aerated confectionery

applications such as marshmallows.

Creating sour marshmallows

Acid-sanded marshmallows deliver unique sensory properties and offer exciting growth potential for confectionery manufacturers. But the hygroscopic properties of the acid powder mean this method can result in issues such as reduced flavor and stability. Hygroscopicity is normally avoided by coating acid powders with fats to reduce moisture absorption. However, in the aerated production process of marshmallows the use of fatty ingredients is undesirable as fat combined with proteins will lead to substantial volume decrease as the foam structure will collapse, causing shrinkage as a result.

PURAC® Powder MA

PURAC Powder MA is a patented, non-fat-coated malic acid powder, specifically developed for acid-sanding in confectionery. On marshmallows, PURAC Powder MA creates an instant sour taste sensation and enables producers to develop stable, high quality and great tasting candies.

Instant release

PURAC Powder MA offers a sour taste experience that is vastly more intense when compared to fat coated malic acid products. One of the powder’s key advantages is its almost instant flavor release (as shown in Figure 1). At the moment of consumption, the coating itself provides a clean, sour taste, which is followed by ongoing sourness from the malic acid.

Unrivalled stability

the instant release of sourness is achieved by the absence of fat coating. A further benefit of PURAC Powder MA is its ability to maintain flavor stability over a long period of time, as demonstrated in Figure 2. Even after six months, the sour taste of candies sanded with PURAC Powder MA is unmistakeable.
