Application
Acidity Regulator
Citric acid can provide a refreshing sour flavor to foods and beverages, improving their taste. It is commonly used in juice drinks, carbonated beverages, candies, jams, and more.
Preservatives and Preservation
Citric acid can lower the pH of foods, inhibit microbial growth, and extend their shelf life. It is often used with antioxidants or preservatives.
Antioxidant and Stabilizing Agents
Citric acid can complex with metal ions, preventing fat oxidation in foods and maintaining color and flavor stability. It is suitable for canned foods, juices, and dairy products.
Food Processing
In candy, jelly, and dairy processing, citric acid can regulate gel formation or emulsification, helping to improve the texture and mouthfeel of the product.
Leaving Agent
In baking, citric acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide, which acts as a leavening agent and is used in cakes and biscuits.
