Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
What is E330 used for on food labels?
E330 refers to citric acid, a naturally derived acidulant and flavor enhancer extracted from citrus fruits, approved and widely used in the food industry and artisan baking.
What is the difference between citric acid and ascorbic acid?
Citric acid (E330) is primarily a flavor acidulant, used to balance sweetness or add a tangy note. Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C (E300), is mainly used as an antioxidant to preserve the color of fruit and risen dough, with a subtler acidifying effect.
Can citric acid be used to make dough rise?
No, it is not a leavening agent. To make dough rise, use baking soda or baking powder; citric acid is only used to adjust tartness and preserve.
