Citric acid, 20 g

Citric acid is a versatile ingredient that is equally valued in confectionery and preserving. It gives your creations a pleasantly tart freshness and also serves as a natural preservative - a practical alternative to fresh lemon juice. Citric acid plays a particularly important role in the production of jelly pralines, jams or fruit preparations. It supports gelling and, in combination with pectin, ensures reliable binding, as pectin needs acid to react optimally. This produces consistent, stable results with a balanced taste. It is easy and efficient to use: depending on the recipe, citric acid is added directly to the ingredients or activated beforehand with water in the same ratio to make it easier to incorporate. This allows it to be evenly distributed and precisely dosed. Even small amounts are enough to have a positive effect on both the consistency and the taste. In addition to its functional effect, citric acid brings a fresh, slightly acidic note to your products and highlights fruit flavors. Whether for fine praline fillings, fruity jams or creative preserving ideas - it is an indispensable helper for precise and tasty work. Important note: Citric acid should not be consumed pure. Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin and always handle the product with care.
