Acidity Regulators
1- Citric Acid Anhydrate - PRODUCT CODE: E-330
Explanation:Citric acid is a natural compound found in all animal and plant materials. The citric acid cycle takes place in every living cell. The energy requirement of every cell is provided by a component known as ATP. ATP is produced mainly from reactions in the citric acid cycle; That's why the citric acid cycle is essential for respiration. Living cells cannot function without citric acid.
Citric Acid Anhydrate is a colorless crystalline chemical and is the most common pH control agent in the food industry. It is widely used as an acidifier, a sweetener and chelating agent. It enhances the work of antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, E300) and prevents the fruit from turning brown. It is also used as a pH reducer in the production of beer and jam. Citric acid stabilizes sugars and candies to prevent sugar from crystallizing. Citric acid is found in large amounts in fruits and especially citrus fruits. Since citric acid isolation from fruits is a very expensive method, it is commercially obtained from sugar with the help of bacteria and yeast.
Usage areas: Citric Acid Anhydrate is used to increase the durability of various organic substances and foods, to flavor some non-alcoholic beverages, to make medicines, confectionery and metal cleaning processes.
2- Citric Acid Monohydrate - PRODUCT CODE: E-330
Explanation:In citric acid monohydrate max. Unlike anhydrate, since it contains 8%, its application area is mostly liquid products. It has a white sand-like appearance. Citric Acid Monohydrate has good water solubility. It is a stable chemical. Does not react with bases, strong oxidizing agents, reducing agents and metal nitrates. Citric Acid Monohydrate is completely biodegradable.
Usage areas:Citric Acid Monohydrate is used in baking powder in the production of bakery products and snack products produced in baby foods and baby products, bakeries and such places. The purpose of use of Citric Acid is to add acidity. It is used in confectionery to add acidity taste. So the citric acid Monohydrate used here is used to lower the pH. It is used to increase the durability of the gel in sugars that require preservative chemicals. It is used to provide clarity and acidity in wine production. It is used for cleaning in kitchens and bathrooms and as a citrus based acid, it is also used as a deodorizer due to its pleasant aroma. There is even a small amount of citric acid in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, hand soap, nail polish and different cosmetics.
3- Malic Acid - PRODUCT CODE: E-296
Explanation:Malic Acid is a kind of fruit acid. It occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables. It is an organic compound. Malic acid has hundreds of benefits. Malic Acid is found especially in sour fruits and mostly in apples. Apart from apples, Malic Acid is also found in vegetables and fruits such as apricots, bananas, cherries, grapes, orange peels, broccoli, pears, plums, carrots, potatoes, green beans. Malic Acid is commercially synthesized by hydrating maleic acid and fumatic acids in the presence of a catalyst. This important acid finds its place in the metabolism of every living thing.
Malic Acid has a very smooth and tart flavor. While citric acid creates a taste effect in some foods, it creates a natural flavor effect by emphasizing the flavor in some foods. For this reason, it is used for various purposes in many industries.
Usage areas: Malic Acid is used as aroma regulator in soft drinks, imitation jams, jelly and confectionery. Malic Acid is also used in apple, grape and other fruit juices to stabilize the color of the fruit juice. Adding malic acid to the fruit juice concentrate also enhances the natural flavor of the beverage. Malic Acid is also added to the content of soft drinks. Malic Acid is also used in the production of hard candy, chewing gum, jam, jelly and gelatinous desserts. Malic acid is used in canned products because it provides pH control and delays browning. Malic Acid is also used in sourdough production. Malic Acid is preferred in the production of these products as it reduces the formation of deposits on beer and dairy products. Since Malic Acid can be applied safely and smoothly in cleaning metal surfaces, Malic Acid is also used in the content of cleaning products. Malic Acid is used extensively in medicine, paint and metal industries.
