Trisodium Citrate
Trisodium Citrate is a flavoring food additive identified as E331. In many cases, trisodium citrate is called sodium citrate, even though it can refer to any of the three sodium salts of citric acid.
Technical aspects
Trisodium Citrate is prepared by complete neutralization of citric acid with high purity sodium hydroxide or carbonate followed by crystallization and dehydration. As a base conjugated to a weak acid, citrate can be exploited as a buffering agent or acidity regulator, resistant to pH changes. Trisodium Citrate appears in the form of a white crystalline anhydrous powder with either a slightly sweet or salty undertaste.
