by reducing it, it guarantees the formation of perfect gelled spheres with sodium alginate. Whether you’re crafting innovative cocktail pearls, balancing the acidity of a homemade lemonade, or stabilizing the texture of a cheese sauce, sodium citrate brings a professional touch to your creations.
✨ Key Features
• Effective pH regulator: Enables spherification of overly acidic liquids by neutralizing excess acidity (ideal for highly acidic fruit juices).
• Instant solubility: Fine powder that dissolves immediately in all types of liquids, for simple, quick use with no lumps.
• Tasteless and odorless: Neutral additive that alters neither the taste nor the aroma of your preparations. Your cocktails and recipes keep their full original flavor.
• Stabilizer & emulsifier: Promotes the binding of water and fats for homogeneous preparations. Perfect for smooth, creamy cheese sauces, with no separation.
Applications in mixology and molecular gastronomy
• Direct spherification: Neutralizes the acidity of overly acidic juices, purées, or syrups to guarantee gelling with sodium alginate. Achieve successful molecular pearls and fruit caviar every time to impress your guests.
• Stabilizing drinks and cocktails: Just a few grams of sodium citrate are enough to reduce the acidity of sodas, lemonades, or juices, balancing the taste of your cocktails. It prevents instability in acidic blends, ensuring smoother drinks with harmonious, long-lasting flavors.
• Emulsifier for sauces and melted cheese: Facilitates the binding of fats and water in your recipes. Ideal for preparing perfectly smooth and creamy cheese sauces (with no separation or lumps), or for stabilizing any innovative emulsified sauce.
ContentRecommended dosage & instructions for use
• Variable dosage depending on acidity: Gradually adjust the amount of sodium citrate until you reach a pH between 4 and 5 in your liquid preparation (pH paper or pH meter recommended for measuring).
• Dosage examples:
• Liquid pH ≈ 2.5: ~8 g/L of sodium citrate
• Liquid pH ≈ 3.0: ~3 g/L of sodium citrate
• Liquid pH ≈ 3.5: ~1 g/L of sodium citrate
• Instructions for use: Mix the powder directly into the liquid to be treated and stir. Sodium citrate dissolves instantly, with no effort, and does not alter the taste of the preparation in any way.
Dimensions• Composition: 100% pure sodium citrate (premium food-grade fine powder).
• Net weight: 1 kg.
• Packaging: Resealable airtight pouch, to preserve all its properties (freshness, moisture protection) between uses.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Reseal the packaging tightly after use to prevent clumping.
