This 100% natural white powder acts as an exceptional powerful antioxidant and food preservative, extending the freshness of your ingredients. A pinch of citric acid prevents cut fruits and vegetables from browning by blocking oxidation, thus preserving their vivid colors, aromas, and vitamins. It’s also a top ally for your gelled recipes: it boosts the effectiveness of pectin in jellies, jams, and other pectin-based gels, for perfect textures and successful sets every time. And that’s not all – combined with baking soda, citric acid releases a sparkling effervescence ideal for creating homemade sodas, surprising cocktails, or even popping candies that delight the taste buds.

Recommended dosage & instructions for use
• General dosage: 1 to 10 g per kilo of preparation, depending on the application and desired effect (a smaller dose to prevent browning, a higher dose for pronounced effervescence or optimized gelling).
• Instructions for use: Use citric acid directly, cold. Mix it evenly into your liquid preparation (water, juice, syrup, etc.) until fully dissolved. It works instantly with no cooking required.
• Effervescence Tip: For optimal fizz, always combine citric acid with an equivalent amount of baking soda at the time of use. This reaction releases carbon dioxide to carbonate your drink or create the fizz in your candies.
