How It’s Made (process)

  1. Fermentation: Aspergillus niger ferments sugar-rich feedstock (e.g., dextrose/sucrose) to produce citric acid.

  2. Primary production: Broth filtered to remove biomass; crude citric acid solution obtained.

  3. Precipitation/separation: Lime treatment forms calcium citrate; acidulation with sulfuric acid liberates citric acid; solids removed.

  4. Crystallization: Concentrated and crystallized to target grade; crystals washed for purity.

  5. Drying & milling (QA): Dried, milled/sieved to spec; assay, pH, metals, and moisture confirmed; COA issued.

Suggested Dosage

General: 0.05–1.0% w/w; trial recommended.

By application

  • Dairy drinks/processed dairy: 0.05–0.30%

  • Confectionery (gummies/jellies): 0.10–0.80% (blend with sugar to avoid localized inversion)

  • Beverages (RTD/juice/carbonates): 0.05–0.30% (profile-dependent)

  • Sauces & dressings: 0.05–0.25%

  • Snack seasonings: 0.50–2.00% in the dry blend

  • H&B / Pharma: q.s. to target pH/buffer capacity

Pairing citric acid with sodium citrate creates a robust buffer that locks in taste.
