Acidity regulators are food additives that give a sour taste to food products, maintain their appropriate pH level, and ensure longer shelf life. They act as preservatives, neutralizing and buffering agents, and organic and mineral acids, depending on their uses. For instance, citric acid is mainly used to enhance the gel consistency in marmalades and decrease enzymatic browning in fruits. Moreover, calcium acetate prevents microbial growth in cake mixtures, puddings, pie fillings, and pet food. Fumaric acid is added to foods, such as bread, poultry, wine, jams, jelly, and pie fillings, as an acidity regulator and flavoring agent.

Acidity Regulators Market Trends:

Inadequate control of the pH can lead to the growth of unwanted bacteria in the product, thereby posing health hazards. As a result, acidity regulators are widely used to alter and control the acidity and alkalinity at a specific level, which is crucial for processing, taste, and food safety. They are mainly used in low-acid foods, such as cucumbers, artichokes, cauliflower, peppers, and fish, to acidify them and maintain the desired product quality. In addition, a significant rise in the demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) meals across the globe on account of rapid urbanization, changing dietary patterns, and busy working schedules is acting as another growth-inducing factor, which is creating a positive market outlook. Moreover, the growing awareness about food waste is catalyzing the demand for acidity regulators worldwide to expand the shelf life of beverages, processed food, and confectionery products. Apart from this, the emerging trend of pet humanization is also positively influencing the demand for nutritious pet food, which, in turn, is driving the market around the world.
