Food additive

Used in food industry, such as acid, solvent, buffer, antioxidant, deodorant, flavor enhancer, gelling agent, toner and so on.

[Mainly used in food additives for carbonated drinks, juice drinks, lactic acid drinks and other cool drinks and pickled products]

[The addition of citric acid to canned fruits can maintain or improve the flavor of fruits by increasing the acidity of certain fruits with low acidity in canning (reducing pH), weakening the heat resistance of microorganisms and inhibiting their growth, and preventing the bacterial swelling and destruction that often occurs in canned fruits with low acidity.]

[The addition of citric acid as a sour agent in candy is easy to coordinate with fruit taste. The use of citric acid in gel food paste and jelly can effectively reduce the negative charge of pectin, so that the drogen bond between pectin molecules can gel. In the processing of canned vegetables, an alkaline reaction, the use of citric acid as a pH adjustment agent can not only play a role in seasoning, but also maintain its quality.]

[Citric acid has chelating and regulating pH value properties, so that it can increase the performance of antioxidant in the processing of frozen food, inhibit enzyme activity, and extend the shelf life of food.]
