Does True Lemon contain malic acid? True Lemon originally didn't contain it but the formula was changed & malic acid affected the natural lemon taste

Yes, it does. The box actually shows it as an ingredient. However, I'm on my third 2.82 oz box of True Lemon and I do not taste it. I use True Lemon to sprinkle on fish and vegetables, and as a flavoring to 'Soda Stream' fizzy water. Granted that True Lemon does not taste like juice from natural lemons, but it's better than liquid lemon juice from concentrated.

Reading the ingredients on the box, it says: citric acid, "malic acid", lemon oil, lemon juice, ascorbic acid (vitamin c). I no longer have my old box, so can't compare it to the new box. I just now opened the new box to try the taste, and you are right, it does taste a bit different and there isn't the truer lemon taste anymore.

According to the last box I purchased, there is malic acid in it. Truthfully, I can't detect that specific taste; it still tastes a lot better than the bottled juices with all the preservatives, not to mention being handy to carry.

Everything is possible. I doubt that you got a bad bottle. Taste a few crystals by itself. Try it in another substance.Maybe the container or the water was tainted. Taking medications might alter your taste buds. True Lemon isan excellent product. I've been using this product for a long time, (several reorders). Besides water I put it onsalads, steaks, in tea every day, If you like the taste of lemon this is the product for you. I've never had a soapy taste!

Someone appears to have done a poor job on the description, the True Lemon *lemon* should just be *lemon*. If you take a close look at the images you can see the ingredient list.The True Lemon brand also produces a lemon, garlic, and cilantro version, which I have not tried, among other things.The regular, lemon-only, True Lemon stuff is just lemon, and I've been occasionally using it to make lemonade.Based on other info here on Amazon, if you're not putting it into things that will be cooked, get the packets or maybe the small shaker bottles (see comments on the 10.6 oz shaker bottles). There's some indication that there's a difference between the large and small package contents.

on the bottle label says fresh limon-lime taste and in ingredients it says natural flavors. I would assume that means lemon-lime flavors

Yes, this is lemon juice with no water added to dilute it! Therefore, it is the same acidity as fresh lemon juice. A sip of it doesn't taste as bright as freshly squeezed and would not be my choice for lemonade, but for any application where heat will be added (such as canning), this product is ideal, convenient, competitively priced, especially for ORGANIC.

My understanding is that "lemon" and "lemon balm" are two different things. This contains lemon balm and unfortunately, it does not state the concentration on the label.

I noticed that to, I would assume it does--it is real lemon juice. However, the "serving size" is only 1 TSP (5 mL) and in that small amount the amount of vitamin C may be too small to read. Usually if it's less than 2% per SERVING, it's not listed.

I assume the answer is yes. It has Calcium Ascorbate in it as well as natural Citrus Bioflavonoids listed as ingredients. I do not fin d it acidic and have been happy with the product.

Wear gloves, please, when using this at an unknown concentration. Acid is acid, and even lemon juice is not so kind to hands and it is only 5% citric acid. Be careful. You do not need to worry about it hurting the glass, however, if it is glass. We store it (high concentration citric acid) in glass in the lab.

The bottle shows the ingredients are: Vitamin C (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate), Calcium (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate) plus C-Sorb Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Sweet Orange, Tangerine, Lime, Lemon, Acerola, Rutin, Hesperidin Complex, Naturally Occurring Vitamin C Metabolites. So no, I don't see ascorbic acid as an ingredient, but I don't know what Calcium Ascorbate is, is it the same thing?

Vitamin C is affected by pasturization, so it may be lower in this product than you would expect from a non-pasturized lemon juice (according to the Lakewood FAQ on their website).

We are happy to help! Upon review it appears that it is a possibility that we still carry the old formula which contains magnesium stearate. Unfortunately it is impossible for us to determine for certain whether we carry the old or the new formula at this time.

I'm not sure what brand/ etc of citric acid you're asking about, but almost all citric acid available online is corn-based. I'm allergic to lemons, and I did a happydance when I learned this :)

It didn't. A google search yields plenty of creations though. I faked one with fresh watermelon, limeade concentrate, and fresh mint from the garden. Purée and added sugar to taste. Have fun.
