How does citric acid prevent sugar crystallization?

 Convert sucrose to invert sugar (glucose +fructose)


 Decreases available moisture by 5%
 Additional advantage: Invert sugar 1.3 times sweeter than
sucrose
C Dairy Products

 Phosphates and citrates are the most major food acidulants


used in dairy processing
 Phosphates are added to milk liquid to control viscosity, and
stabilize flavor
 Phosphates improve the properties of dried and liquid milk
through their interaction with milk protein
 Citric acid : precursor of diacetyl (flavor & aroma dairy
products)
D Meats And Seafood Products
 Increase tenderness of meat through interaction with water
and salt soluble meat proteins
 Improve color and flavor
 Prevent off flavor and microbiological spoilage

E Fruits And Vegetables


 Inhibitors of microbiological spoilage
 Stabilizer against oxidative rancidity
 Stabilization of vitamin and color
 Firming of tissue
 Tenderization
