Popular questions
  1. 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.

  2. Where does the citric acid cycle occur?

    In eukaryotic cells it occurs in the mitochondrial matrix; in bacteria it occurs in the cytosol.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  1. Clean install on dell e640 which drivers?

    This appears unrelated to food additive E640; in foods, E640 means glycine and its sodium salt (sodium glycinate), used mainly as a flavor enhancer and buffering/chelating agent.

  2. Einstein e640 not working when hot?

    This isn’t about additive E640; glycine and its sodium salt are heat‑stable at normal cooking temperatures and are generally considered safe at typical food-use levels.

  3. How many times has einstein e640 flash fired?

    There’s no “flash count” for E640—it's the code for glycine/sodium glycinate, a food additive often used at quantum satis (good manufacturing practice) levels where permitted.

  4. How to do flash exposure bracketing with einstein e640?

    Unrelated to the additive: E640 (glycine/sodium glycinate) enhances savory/sweet notes and can help mask bitterness; it doesn’t involve any photographic exposure settings.

  5. How to fix a dell latitude e640?

    This seems unrelated to E-number E640; note that glycine may be produced synthetically or derived from animal sources (e.g., gelatin), so vegans should check sourcing or labeling.
