CITRATES AND PHOSPHATES

ex-Gadot Biochem [Israel], BP/USP/FCC and kosher certified

The primary functions of Citric Acid and its salts, the Citrates, in food and beverages are:

  1. flavour adjunct; improving taste
  2. pH control agent [i.e. gellation control, buffering and preservative enhancement]
  3. chelating agent [improving the action of antioxidants and preventing spoilage of foods].

CITRIC ACID -Anhydrous-

CITRIC ACID -Monohydrate-

CITRIC ACID -50% Solution w/w-

MONO SODIUM CITRATE -Anhydrous-

TRI CALCIUM CITRATE -Tetrahydrate-

TRI MAGNESIUM CITRATE

TRI POTASSIUM CITRATE -Monohydrate-

TRI SODIUM CITRATE -Dihydrate-


Phosphates are widely used in the food industry for their functional and nutritional properties. The range of Orthophosphate salts have pH levels ranging from moderately acid, pH 4, to strongly alkaline, pH 12. This wide pH-range makes Orthophosphates very useful for adjusting the pH of food systems to any desired level.

The primary functions of Orthophosphates are:
  1. emulsifier,
  2. acidic buffer,
  3. curing aid,
  4. gelling aid,
  5. nutrient,
  6. leavening acid.
