So, what is citrat?

Citrat is a food ingredient commonly used as an acidity regulator, flavor enhancer, and preservative in the food industry. It is a salt derived from citric acid, which is naturally occurring in citrus fruits such as lemons and limes. Citrat is also known for its ability to prevent browning in fruits and vegetables, and it is often used in canned and frozen produce. This versatile ingredient is approved by regulatory authorities around the world and is considered safe for consumption when used within recommended levels. Its ability to enhance flavor and prolong shelf life make it a popular choice among food manufacturers.
