Overview

E333II - Dicalcium citrate

Dicalcium citrate (E333ii) is a calcium salt of citric acid used to control acidity, bind metal ions, and keep foods stable. It has a mild taste, works well in drinks and dairy, and can also add a small amount of calcium.

Ammonium and sodium carbonates

Ammonium and sodium carbonates are common baking ingredients that help doughs and batters rise and control acidity. They are widely used in cookies, crackers, wafers, and many other baked foods for light texture and a clean, crisp bite. This page explains how they work, where they appear, how they’re made, and what regulators say about their safety.
