Category overview
Ingredient sourcing starts with the finished product.
Acidity regulators are selected to develop pH, titratable acidity, sourness, buffering and process behavior. Acids with the same target pH can produce different sensory and technical results.
Nutrifena supplies acidulants and buffering salts for food and beverage manufacturing. The responsible manufacturer must validate the complete pH and preservation system, including process and package.

Buyer questions
Acidity Regulators FAQ
Are citric acid and ascorbic acid the same?
No. Citric acid is commonly used for acidity and pH control, while ascorbic acid is Vitamin C and may have nutritional or technical functions.
Can an acid preserve food by itself?
Not necessarily. Safety and shelf life depend on validated pH, water activity, process, packaging, sanitation and the complete preservation system.
Why use a buffer with an acid?
A buffer may help manage pH response and acid profile, but the correct system depends on the full formulation.
