Sodium Citrate is the sodium salt of citric acid. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is readily soluble in water. It is a multifunctional food additive primarily used as an acidity regulator, buffering agent, emulsifying salt, and antioxidant synergist. In the food industry, sodium citrate is widely used in beverages, dairy products, jams, ice cream, and meat products to adjust pH, improve mouthfeel, prevent fat separation, and enhance antioxidant effects.
Main Characteristics of Sodium Citrate:
• High Solubility– Easily soluble in water with fast dissolution, facilitating processing and use
• Strong Buffering Capacity– Effectively stabilizes solution pH, preventing drastic acidity fluctuations
• Emulsifying Stability– Acts as an emulsifying salt to promote uniform fat dispersion and prevent oil-water separation
• Metal Ion Chelation– Chelates metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, preventing oxidation and discoloration
• Mouthfeel Improvement– Imparts a mild salty taste and refreshing mouthfeel to foods, balancing sweet and sour notes
• Synergistic Effect– Enhances the antioxidant efficacy of antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E
• High Safety– Internationally recognized as safe (GRAS), widely used in various food products
• Wide Application Range– Suitable for beverages, dairy products, jams, ice cream, meat products, cheese, and more
