Encapsulated Citric Acid - Gluten-Free Vegan - 50g/2oz

Encapsulated citric acid is an acidulant encapsulated with hydrogenated vegetable oil, which melts when cooked. It imparts a tangy flavor commonly associated with sausages and snacks by reducing the pH level. Additionally, encapsulated citric acid can improve shelf stability as it functions as a nitrite cure.

To achieve a target pH of approximately 4.9, it is recommended to use 12 ounces per 100 pounds of meat. However, the performance may vary depending on the fat content and the impact of seasonings. The ingredient list includes citric acid and hydrogenated vegetable oil (specifically cottonseed oil), with no known allergens present.

This product is plant-based, gluten-free, keto-friendly, and kosher. Documentation available includes specifications, safety data sheets, certificates of analysis, and miscellaneous videos showcasing its uses. For example, the WTF Summer Sausage episode 270 demonstrates how this acidulant eliminates the need for refrigeration, making it perfect for molecular gastronomy and modernist cooking applications.
