Sodium & Trisodium Citrate is a compound commonly used as an acidity regulator, an emulsifier, and a flavor enhancer in a wide range of food products and as a component of electrolyte solutions in medical settings. It is also used as a sequestrant, which means it can bind to metal ions in food and prevent them from reacting with other ingredients. Trisodium Citrate is also often used in cheese-making as a emulsifying salt, and as a coagulant in tofu production.
Characteristics: is a white crystalline powder that is composed of sodium salt of citric acid. It is highly soluble in water and has a sour taste.
