Acidulating agents

OTHER COMMENTS used as an acidulating agent in textile dyeing and finishing coagulates latex in rubber production an additive in animal feed and a food preservative meta salts made from formic acid include nickel, cadmium, and potassium formate nickel formate may be used in the preparation of supported nickel catalysts reported uses include non-alcoholi< beverages (1.0 ppm), ice cream (5.0 ppm), candy (5.0-18 ppm), baked goods (5.0-6.1 ppm). 

FlavorFicpunct. A substance used in or with a flavor but not essentially a part of it. These include solvents, antioxidants, enzymes, adjusting agents, emulsifiers, and acidulants. 

Adipic acid can also polymerize with alcohols such as ethylene glycol to form polyesters, which can combine with isocyanates to form polyurethanes. Smaller esters of adipic acid produced with alcohols in the C-8 to C-10 range are called adipates. These are used as softeners in plastic (such as polyvinyl chloride) and as synthetic grease base oils. Adipic acid is also used in the food industry. Food grade adipic acid is prepared synthetically or extracted from beet juice as a natural source. It is used as a gelling agent, as an acidulant to provide tartness, and as a preservative. 

Phosphoric acid is used as an intermediate in the production of animal feed supplements, water treatment chemicals, metal surface treatments, etching agent, and personal care products such as toothpaste. It is used as a catalyst in the petroleum and polymer industry. Phosphoric acid is used in food as a preservative, an acidulant, and flavor enhancer it acidifies carbonated drinks such as Coca Cola and Pepsi, giving them a tangy flavor. Phosphoric acid is used as a rust remover and metal cleaner. Naval Jelly is approximately 25% phosphoric acid. Other uses for phosphoric acid include opacity control in glass production, textile dyeing, rubber latex coagulation, and dental cements. 

Fumaric acid Acidulant, flavoring agent, chelating agent synergist Exhibits synergism when used in combination with other true antioxidants. Low aqueous solubility... 

Tartaric acid Acidulant, antioxidant, sequestering agent Soluble in water, glycerin and ethanol. Tartaric acid has a very tart taste... 

More than 200 monographs of pharmaceutical excipients appear in the third edition of the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, published jointly by the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Pharmaceutical Press in the year 2000. In addition, more than 200 of the same pharmaceutical ingredients (excipients) are listed in NF 19 and cover more than 40 different excipient categories, from acidulants to wetting agents. It has been estimated that there are more than 1000 different pharmaceutical excipients in use worldwide at the present time. 

Citric acid (melting point 153°C, density 1.665) is one of our most versatile organic acids and is used as an acidulant in carbonated beverages, jams, jellies, and other foodstuffs. Another large outlet is in the medicinal field, including the manufacture of citrates and effervescent salts. Industrially citric acid is used as an ion-sequestering agent buffer and in the form of acetyl tributyl citrate, as a plasticizer for vinyl resins. 

In children, a reduction of 30 0% in dental caries is seen with the following 2% sodium fluoride, 8% stannous fluoride, and acidulated phosphate-fluoride products. No one agent appears to be superior to any other when used as directed. 

Acidulant antioxidant flavoring agent therapeutic agent. 

Fumaric acid is used primarily in liquid pharmaceutical preparations as an acidulant and flavoring agent. Fumaric acid may be included as the acid part of effervescent tablet formulations, although this use is limited as the compound has an extremely low solubility in water. It is also used as a chelating agent which exhibits synergism when used in combination with other true antioxidants. 

Lactic acid is used in beverages, foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals see Table I) as an acidifying agent and acidulant. 

Acidulant antioxidant chelating and buffering agent flavoring agent therapeutic agent. 

Malic acid is used in pharmaceutical formulations as a general-purpose acidulant. It possesses a slight apple flavor and is used as a flavoring agent to mask bitter tastes and provide tartness. Malic acid is also used as an alternative to citric acid in effervescent powders, mouthwashes, and tooth-cleaning tablets. 

Phosphoric acid is widely used as an acidifying and buffering agent in a variety of pharmaceutical formulations. It is also widely used in food preparations as an acidulant, flavor, and synergistic antioxidant (0.001-0.005%) and sequestrant. 

Tartaric acid is used in beverages, confectionery, food products, and pbarmaceutical formulations as an acidulant. It may also be used as a sequestering agent and as an antioxidant synergist. In pbarmaceutical formulations, it is widely used in combination with bicarbonates, as tbe acid component of effervescent granules, powders, and tablets.
