  Posts: 7 Group: Member Skin: Default | I have noticed that listed in the ingredients on many vegetable extracts spreads (eg: vegemite, promite, pelican feet, etc) is citric acid under the heading of an acidity regulator.
Why is this the case? Hope someone can help? Peace out homies.

Posts: 22 Group: Admin Skin: Default | Citric acid is often added along with sodium citrate to many spreads in order to control the acidity of the spreads.
The two work as a buffer to control (or regulate) the acidity of the spread. ----------------- Craville Studies The Site for HSC subject links, tips and resources www.craville.110mb.com |
