The food and beverage industry relies heavily on acidity regulators, also known as pH control agents or food additives. These regulators control and maintain the acidity or alkalinity of a product, playing a crucial role. They enhance the appearance of foods, preserve them, and ensure their safety. Mineral acids, organic compounds, or neutralizing agents can make up these regulators. Biotechnology produces some of these acids, while chemical synthesis based on petrochemical raw materials economically produces others on an industrial scale. The specific requirements of the food or beverage product determine the choice of acidity regulator. Food safety authorities regulate the use of these substances to ensure the safety of consumers, which is important to note.
