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.
What is sodium laureth sulphate?
Sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) is an ethoxylated anionic surfactant used for cleansing and foaming in personal care and household cleaning products; it is a different substance from E514(i) sodium sulphate.
What is sodium lauryl sulphate?
Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) is an anionic surfactant and foaming agent commonly used in shampoos, toothpastes, and cleaners; it is not the same as E514(i) sodium sulphate.
Is sodium sulphate soluble in water?
Yes—sodium sulphate is highly soluble in water in both its anhydrous and hydrated forms.
What is sodium laureth sulphate used for?
SLES is used as a detergent, wetting, and foaming agent in shampoos, body washes, and household cleaners; it is distinct from E514(i) sodium sulphate.
What is sodium sulphate used for?
Sodium sulphate (E514i) is mainly used industrially as a filler in powdered detergents and in the kraft process of paper pulping, with additional uses in glass manufacture.
