Like citric acid, it has a sour taste. Like other salts, it also has a salty taste. It is commonly known as sour salt and is mainly used as a food additive, usually for flavor or as a preservative. It gives club soda both its sour and salty flavors. It reduces the acidity of foods, so it allows spherification with strongly acidic ingredients. Sodium citrate is also used as an antioxidant in food as well as a sequestrant. It dissolves easily and acts instantaneously. Sodium Citrate most commonly appears as the salt trisodiumcitrate and can be used as an emulsifier, calcium sequestrant, acidity regulator, and preservative. In molecular gastronomy, sodium citrate is widely used in spherification to regulate acidity and reduce calcium content to prevent early gelation. Sodium Citrate can refer to any of the three sodium salts of citric acid. It possesses a saline, mildly tart flavor. It also is known as sour salt and as a food additive, it is often used to flavor or as a preservative. When added to high acid liquids it can be used to allow spherification with strongly acidic ingredients to allow gelling. It is also used to stabilize emulsified fat. Sodium citrate is also used as an emulsifier to make constructed cheese, a smooth and melty cheese but with the flavor of aged cheese. Sodium citrate is also used as an antioxidant in food as well to sequestrate. It dissolves easily and acts instantaneously. It's difficult to give an exact concentration range for using sodium citrate because the ideal concentration depends on the other ingredients in a recipe. Use with moderation because Sodium Citrate is sour and salty and will affect the flavor of your preparation. When using sodium citrate for spherification it must be adjusted for the amount of calcium ions occurring in the liquid you are using. Begin with only 0.25%. You should increase the amount if you still get clumps and of course, decrease it if the spheres do not form. This product is certified Kosher (Pareve) by OK Kosher Available in 2-OZ, 8-OZ and 14-OZ packages. Specially Designed to:   Application: For best results, consult your favorite recipe or formula.  Sodium citrate is primarily used as a food additive, usually for flavor or as a preservative. In certain varieties of club soda, sodium citrate is employed as a flavoring agent.

Sodium Citrate is also used as an emulsifier for oils in the cheesemaking process. Sodium citrate allows cheese to melt without becoming greasy. It is basically used as an emulsifier which is used to make dairy products like cheese because basically it can prevent a dairy product from becoming stale for many days in comparison to other solutions. Sodium citric acid is also used as food additives and found as flavoring agents in many products.
