Acidulants
This resource can be used to demonstrate an understanding of the use of acids and alkalis in the food and drinks industry. A series of activities involving the preparation of sherbet, scones and dumplings using raising agents illustrate the function of acidulants. The flavouring and preservative nature of citric acid is investigated and a quantitative titration determines actual acidity (pH) levels in common foods and drinks.
