Citric Acid
CAS: 77-92-9 | HS: 29181400
C₆H₈O₇ | 192.12 g/mol
The most widely used food acidulant — provides tartness to beverages, preserves colour in fruit products, chelates metal ions to prevent rancidity, and adjusts pH in jams, jellies, and confectionery. E330 approved.
Sodium Bicarbonate
CAS: 144-55-8 | HS: 28363000
NaHCO₃ | 84.01 g/mol
Leavening agent in bakery products — reacts with acids to release CO₂, creating rise in breads, cakes, and biscuits. Also used in effervescent formulations and as a food-grade pH buffer. E500(ii).
Calcium Carbonate
CAS: 471-34-1 | HS: 28365000
CaCO₃ | 100.09 g/mol
Food-grade calcium supplement and anti-caking agent — added to flour fortification, breakfast cereals, and calcium-fortified beverages. Also used as a leavening acid neutraliser in baking powder formulations.
Tartaric Acid
CAS: 87-69-4 | HS: 29181200
C₄H₆O₆ | 150.09 g/mol
Acidulant and pH regulator in wine, confectionery, and effervescent products. Provides characteristic tartness to wine and grape-flavoured beverages; also stabilises cream of tartar in bakery applications. E334.
Diammonium Phosphate
CAS: 7783-28-0 | HS: 31054000
(NH₄)₂HPO₄ | 132.06 g/mol
Yeast nutrient and fermentation accelerator in winemaking, brewing, and bio-ethanol production — supplies both nitrogen and phosphorus for yeast metabolism, improving fermentation efficiency and reducing off-flavours.
Monopotassium Phosphate
CAS: 7778-77-0 | HS: 28352400
KH₂PO₄ | 136.09 g/mol
Buffering agent, sequestrant, and yeast food in food and beverage processing — stabilises pH in dairy products, soft drinks, and fermentation media while providing potassium mineral enrichment.
Hydrogen Peroxide
CAS: 7722-84-1 | HS: 28470000
H₂O₂ | 34.01 g/mol
Food-grade (35%) sterilising agent for aseptic packaging, UHT dairy equipment, and storage tank sanitation — decomposes completely to water, leaving no chemical residue and meeting strict food safety requirements.
Sulphamic Acid
CAS: 5329-14-6 | HS: 28111990
H₃NSO₃ | 97.09 g/mol
Food-safe descaling and CIP cleaning agent for dairy equipment, brewing vessels, and food-contact surfaces — removes milk stone, beer stone, and mineral scale without chlorine contamination risk.
