Malt Extract
Whatsapp Order
Malt Extract is a concentrated syrup or powder derived from malted barley or other cereal grains through enzymatic extraction. It is produced by steeping, germinating, and drying grains, then mashing and concentrating the liquid extract. Rich in sugars (mainly maltose), amino acids, vitamins (notably B-complex), and minerals, malt extract is valued for its natural sweetness, nutritional content, and fermentable properties. Available in liquid (syrup) or dry (powdered) forms, it is widely used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and animal nutrition industries.
