Food Acids
Food acids are organic acids used in the food industry as additives to regulate pH, preserve freshness, and enhance flavor and texture.
Lactic acid (E270) is a food additive and acidity regulator commonly used in the confectionery industry. It is a syrup-like, hygroscopic liquid with a mild, characteristic lactic aroma and a tangy taste. In confectionery production, lactic acid is used in the creation of fruit-filled caramels. Its sour profile enhances fruit and berry flavors and adds a more complex and layered taste to sweets.
