Encapsulated Citric Acid - Gluten-Free Vegan - 400g/14oz

Encapsulated citric acid, which is encapsulated with hydrogenated vegetable oil, is a type of acidulant that melts during cooking. Its main function is to add a tangy flavor to sausages and snacks by reducing the pH level. Additionally, when added, it can improve the shelf stability as it acts as a nitrite (cure) accelerator.

For best results, it is recommended to use 12 ounces of encapsulated citric acid per 100lbs of meat in order to achieve a target pH of around 4.9. It's important to note that the performance of the acidulant may vary depending on the fat content and the impact of seasonings in your recipe.

Encapsulated citric acid is plant-based, gluten-free, and keto-friendly, making it a versatile option for various dietary preferences. It is perfect for applications in Molecular Gastronomy and Modernist Cooking, where precise flavor profiles and textures are desired.
