Citric Acid Spheres

Citric acid, a naturally occurring acid present in citrus fruits like lemons and limes, is used to make citric acid spheres, which are tiny, spherical particles. Typically, a mixture of citric acid and a binder material is formed into tiny spheres using specialised machinery in a process known as extrusion spheronization.

Citric acid spheres are a common ingredient in many different industries because of their sour flavour and high water solubility. They can also be found in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cleaning products. They are frequently used as an acidulant, pH adjuster, or flavouring agent in food and beverage products.

Citric acid spheres come in a variety of sizes and can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of various applications. They are prized for their capacity to maintain a constant acidity level, improve flavour, and enhance the texture of various products. Furthermore, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has deemed citric acid spheres to be generally recognised as safe (GRAS), making them safe for consumption.
