DESCRIPTION
sodium citrate has the chemical formula of Na3C6H5O7. It is sometimes referred to simply as “sodium citrate“, though sodium citrate can refer to any of the three sodium salts of citric acid. It possesses a saline, mildly tart flavor. It is mildly basic and can be used along with citric acid to make biologically compatible buffers.
Sodium citrate is chiefly used as a food additive, usually for flavor or as a preservative. Its E number is E331. Sodium citrate is employed as a flavoring agent in certain varieties of club soda. It is common as an ingredient in Bratwurst and is also used in commercial ready-to-drink beverages and drink mixes, contributing a tart flavor. It is found in gelatin mix[clarification needed], ice cream, yogurt, jams, sweets, milk powder, processed cheeses, carbonated beverages, and wine[citation needed], amongst others.
Sodium citrate can be used as an emulsifier when making cheese. It allows the cheese to melt without becoming greasy by stopping the fats from separating out.
