Acidulants, also known as food acidifiers or food pH regulators, are food additives of plant or animal origin. Their role is to increase the acidity of a food, giving it an acid taste and improving its organoleptic quality. But that’s not all: acidifiers are also essential for keeping food longer and preserving its quality.
Here are a few examples of commonly used food acidifiers:
- Citric acid (E330): This acid is present in many foods such as soft drinks, confectionery, sauces and dairy products. It improves acid taste and acts as a preservative.
- Lactic acid (E270): Found in dairy products, processed meats and beverages. It contributes to food preservation and acidification.
- Potassium citrate (E332): Used as a pH regulator in soft drinks, dairy products and bakery products.
- Sodium citrate (E331): Present in beverages, dairy products, sauces and bakery products. It acts as an acidifier and stabilizer.
These acidifiers are widely used in the food industry, notably in canned vegetable, dairy products, confectionery, soft drinks, sauces and many other products.
