Chlorine
Acidity-regulatorChlorine (CAS 7782-50-5) is a chemical element used in food processing as an antimicrobial agent, oxidizing agent, and pH control agent. It is FDA GRAS-designated and commonly used in water treatment for produce washing and sanitation of food contact surfaces.
Combustion Product Gas
Acidity-regulatorCombustion Product Gas is a processing aid and pH control agent derived from controlled combustion processes. It functions as an acidity regulator in food manufacturing, though it has not received FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status.
Orange, Juice
Acidity-regulatorOrange juice is a natural acidic ingredient derived from oranges that functions as a pH control agent in food products. It is recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA and is used to regulate acidity and preserve product stability in various food applications.
Peracetic Acid
Acidity-regulatorPeracetic acid (CAS 79-21-0) is a strong antimicrobial and oxidizing agent used as a pH control and sanitation agent in food processing. It functions primarily as a disinfectant for food contact surfaces and equipment rather than as a direct food additive.
Phosphorus Oxychloride
Acidity-regulatorPhosphorus oxychloride (CAS 10025-87-3) is an inorganic chemical compound used as a pH control agent and acidity regulator in food processing. It functions to maintain or adjust the acidity level of food products during manufacturing.
