Acidity Regulators
Acidity regulators are food additives used to change or maintain the pH of food products. They play a critical role in food preservation, flavor enhancement, texture improvement, and microbial safety.
What Are Acidity Regulators?
Acidity regulators are substances added to food to control its acidity or alkalinity. They can act as acids, bases, or buffering agents, ensuring that food products maintain a consistent and desirable pH level throughout their shelf life.
