Cargill® Citric Acid Anhydrous FCC Fine Granular - Kosher, Halal, Food Grade, USP Certified, 50-lb Bag
Cargill’s Citric Acid Anhydrous is a premium stabilizing ingredient for a variety of applications, including specialized nutrition, sports nutrition, health supplements, and nutraceuticals.
Nature-derived citric acid is produced sustainably via a submerged fermentation process from a dextrose carbohydrate substrate. This product is a translucent white crystal, fine granular, characterized by its tart acidic taste. Its slightly hydroscopic nature and melting point at 153°C (307°F) contribute significantly to its versatility in various applications.
The superior flavor enhancer's functionality extends beyond imparting tartness. It also modifies sweetness and enhances overall flavors, effectively masking bitter tastes.
The inclusion of this food-grade acidulant in formulations can contribute to pH adjustment, buffer capacity, and ion sequestration. As a mild preservative that lowers pH, it not only supports favorable bioavailability but also acts as a preservative and antioxidant, potentially extending the shelf life of products.
Cargill's citric acid anhydrous for food production aligns with consumer preferences for natural and environmentally friendly ingredients. Proprietary research consistently highlights citric acid's strong consumer appeal and its positive influence on purchasing decisions.
The product's gluten-free, plant-based, vegan/vegetarian, and label-friendly profile further broadens its applicability to diverse consumer preferences and dietary requirements.
