Acidulants are food additives, usually organic acids or their salts, such as citric acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, etc. Acidulants are widely used in the food industry and can be used in products such as beverages, juices, jams, yogurts, candies, pickled foods, etc. They not only adjust the mouthfeel and taste of food, but also enhance the preservation properties of food. Acidulants can simulate the sour taste in natural fruits and make food more delicious. Acidulants are an indispensable ingredient in the food industry, providing taste enhancement, preservation and pH adjustment for a variety of foods. Our company's dedication to sourcing high-quality acidulants, coupled with our commitment to innovation and safety, makes us an ideal choice for your food ingredient needs.

Use
Since the amount of acidulants added is very small, they generally do not cause harm to the human body. However, for certain groups of people, such as those who are allergic to certain acidulants, they should avoid eating foods containing such additives. In addition, long-term excessive intake of acidulants may also have an impact on health, so they should be consumed in moderation.
Acidulants in Food
Acidulants play an important role in the food industry. When they are added to foods and beverages, they provide a variety of benefits as functional additives. In addition to improving taste, they also help extend the shelf life of products and help adjust pH. The role of acidulants in the food industry includes:
- Improving the taste of food, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, enhancing the color of food and maintaining the freshness of food
- Acidulants can also be used to protect the quality of food and extend its shelf life. Acidulants can adjust the pH of food, thereby inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and extending the shelf life of food.
