Food Acids

Food acids are organic acids used in the food industry as additives to regulate pH, preserve freshness, and enhance flavor and texture.

Citric Acid

Citric acid (E330) is a natural organic acid widely used in the food industry as an acidity regulator. It is a white, water-soluble powder with a pleasant sour taste and a lemon-like aroma. Citric acid can be added to improve flavor balance, offset sweetness, and create the desired level of acidity in products such as fruit marmalade and jelly-filled candies.

Lactic Acid

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.
