An acidulant is a substance that imparts acidity or tartness to food and beverages. Acidulants can be naturally derived or synthetic, and common examples include citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid. They are used in small amounts to adjust the pH level and enhance the taste of various products. Acidulants work by releasing hydrogen ions, contributing to the overall acidity of a food or beverage. They play a crucial role in balancing flavors, adding freshness, and preserving products. Acidulants are widely used in the food and beverage industry to create a wide range of tart and acidic flavors, from fruity and citrusy to tangy and sour.
