Popular questions
Is citric acid bad for you?
At typical food levels, citric acid (E330) is considered safe by major regulators (GRAS; EFSA/JECFA). Concentrated or frequent acidic exposure can irritate the mouth/stomach or contribute to tooth enamel erosion.
Where does the citric acid cycle occur?
In eukaryotic cells it occurs in the mitochondrial matrix; in bacteria it occurs in the cytosol.
What does citric acid do to your body?
It is a normal intermediate in energy metabolism and is readily metabolized to carbon dioxide and water. Citrate can bind minerals, which may enhance absorption of some and help prevent certain kidney stones by increasing urinary citrate.
Where does citric acid come from?
It occurs naturally in citrus fruits, but most food-grade citric acid is produced by fermenting sugars (e.g., from corn, beet, or cane) with Aspergillus niger.
How is citric acid made?
Industrially, sugars are fermented with Aspergillus niger to produce citric acid, then it is recovered and purified—often by precipitating calcium citrate and converting it back with sulfuric acid or via ion-exchange/crystallization.
How much oil in 2001 ford e350i take?
That’s a vehicle question; E350(i) refers to sodium malate, a food additive, and is unrelated to engine oil capacities.
What is sodium hydrogen malate used for?
Sodium hydrogen malate (E350(ii)) is used as an acidity regulator and buffer that provides mild tartness and helps stabilize pH in foods like beverages, jams, and confectionery.
What is sodium malate sodium level?
Disodium malate (E350(i)) is about 26% sodium by weight (~260 mg sodium per gram), while monosodium malate (E350(ii)) is about 15% (~150 mg/g).
What is sodium malate used for in foods?
It functions mainly as an acidity regulator/buffering agent and humectant, adding gentle tartness, controlling pH, and helping retain moisture in products like beverages, confectionery, and baked goods.
Why add sodium malate in salmon caviar?
To gently regulate pH and act as a humectant, which helps stabilize texture, reduce drip, and subtly enhance flavor/salt perception for better shelf-life.
