Sodium citrate is a salt of citric acid and is commonly used in the culinary industry as a food additive and preservative. It has a sour and salty flavor. Here are some culinary usages for sodium citrate:
Cheese Making: Sodium citrate is used in the process of making cheese, particularly in the production of processed cheese. It acts as an emulsifier, helping to create a smooth and creamy texture in the cheese.
Sous Vide Cooking: Sodium citrate is used in sous vide cooking to prevent the separation of fat and water in certain dishes. It can be used to create smooth and creamy sauces, such as cheese sauce or hollandaise sauce, that won't break or separate during the cooking process.
Carbonated Beverages: Sodium citrate is used as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer in some carbonated beverages, such as soda.
Gelatins and Jellies: Sodium citrate can be added to gelatins and jellies to help them set more quickly and to improve the texture and mouthfeel of the final product.
Canned Foods: Sodium citrate is sometimes used as a preservative in canned foods to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Meat Processing: Sodium citrate can be used in meat processing to help retain moisture and to prevent spoilage during storage.
Use sodium citrate as a preservative (flavor & color), stabilizer, anti-coagulant, and a buffering agent to control pH levels.
