Malt extract

Malt extract (CAS 8002-48-0 ) is a concentrated, water-soluble preparation derived from malted barley, standardized for fermentable sugars, dextrins, and naturally occurring enzymes. It functions as a flavoring agent, natural sweetener, and humectant across food manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and fermentation industries. In baked goods, confectionery, and breakfast cereals, it contributes color development, characteristic malt flavor, and moisture retention that extends shelf life. Brewers and distillers use it as a fermentable substrate and flavor base in beer, malt beverages, and whisky production. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into tablet coatings, syrups, and nutritional supplements as a natural excipient and mild sweetener with functional carbohydrate content. In microbiology and biotechnology, it serves as a culture medium component supporting yeast and fungal propagation. Malt extract is supplied as a viscous liquid syrup or as a spray-dried powder, with dry extract offering easier handling and extended shelf life for industrial formulations. Standard grades include food-grade and FCC -compliant specifications for global distribution. Diastatic and non-diastatic variants are available depending on whether enzymatic activity is required for the specific application. Liquid forms are typically characterized by Brix value and color units (EBC), which are key procurement parameters for consistent batch performance. The product ensures high solubility and uniform dispersion in aqueous systems, making it ideal for large-scale manufacturing. Its natural origin and clean label profile meet the growing demand for plant-based ingredients in modern food and beverage formulations. Contact us for supply of Malt extract Request Quote
