Sodium Citrate is a sodium salt of citric acid widely used as a food-grade buffering agent, emulsifier, and flavouring ingredient. This Halal-certified ingredient provides a mildly salty, slightly tart flavour and is highly effective at stabilising pH levels in food and beverage formulations, improving shelf life, texture, and safety.
As a sequestrant and emulsifier, Sodium Citrate also plays a critical role in dairy applications — particularly in processed cheese and cheese analogues — where it helps maintain smooth, homogeneous texture.
Applications:
- Beverages (carbonated drinks, sports beverages, electrolyte mixes)
- Dairy (processed cheese, cheese sauces, dairy analogues)
- Bakery & Confectionery (candies, jellies, pH-adjusted formulations)
- Nutraceuticals (electrolyte supplements, mineral buffering agents)
Key Features & Benefits:
- Effective pH buffering and stabilisation
- Emulsifying properties for dairy and processed food
- Mildly salty-tart flavour enhancer
- Improves shelf life and microbial stability
- Halal-certified & food-grade quality
