Popular questions
What is e331 in food?
E331 is sodium citrates—the mono-, di-, and trisodium salts of citric acid—used mainly as acidity regulators/buffers, sequestrants, and emulsifying salts in foods like soft drinks and processed cheese.
How are sodium citrates used in molecular gastronomy?
They’re used to adjust and buffer pH, chelate calcium, and act as an emulsifying salt—commonly to make ultra-smooth, meltable cheese sauces and to tune acidity/calcium levels for techniques like spherification and stabilizing foams.
What are sodium citrates degradation byproducts?
Under normal food use they’re stable; with strong heating/combustion they decompose to carbon oxides (CO2/CO) and sodium oxides (and related inorganic residues).
Why does sodium citrates burn?
It isn’t flammable; any “burning” sensation typically comes from irritation of skin, eyes, or mouth at high concentrations due to its mildly alkaline, saline nature, and on heating it decomposes rather than sustaining a flame.
What is ammonium lactate cream used for?
A 12% ammonium lactate cream is used to moisturize and gently exfoliate very dry, rough, or scaly skin (e.g., xerosis, ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris). It can increase sun sensitivity, so sunscreen is advised.
Ammonium lactate cream 12 para que sirve?
La crema de lactato de amonio al 12% se usa para hidratar y suavizar la piel muy seca, áspera o escamosa (p. ej., xerosis, queratosis pilaris, ictiosis). Puede aumentar la sensibilidad al sol; use protector solar.
Is ammonium lactate an antifungal?
No—ammonium lactate is not an antifungal; it’s a humectant and mild keratolytic for dry, scaly skin and may have only mild antibacterial effects.
Ammonium lactate para que sirve?
El lactato de amonio se usa tópicamente como humectante y queratolítico para tratar piel seca, áspera o engrosada. No es un antifúngico.
What is ammonium lactate 12 cream used for?
It’s used to hydrate and smooth very dry, rough, or scaly skin (such as keratosis pilaris or ichthyosis). It may increase photosensitivity, so use sun protection.
