Acidity regulator
An acidity regulator, also known as a pH control agent, is a substance added to food and beverages to maintain or adjust their acidity or alkalinity. By controlling pH levels, it helps ensure the product remains safe, stable, and consistent in flavor and texture over time. Common examples include citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. These regulators are carefully tested and approved for safe consumption, playing a crucial role in food preservation and quality without affecting taste significantly.
