Possible Interaction: Sodium Chloride and Citric Acid

“ Sodium chloride reduced weight losses (16 to 18% compared with 20 to 27% by citric …-log reduction in counts during cooking to 65 degrees C. Ingredients such as citric or acetic acid may improve thermal inactivation of E. coli …, while sodium chloride may reduce cooking losses in such products.”

“CONCLUSION NaOHCl, ci ric acid an d NaC l so lutions, when used together, presented a better performance in the removal of SL when compared to the other solutions.”

“Using the labellar salt receptor cells of the blowfly, Phormia regina, we electrophysiologically showed that the response to NaCl and KCl aqueous solutions was enhanced and depressed by acetic, succinic and citric acids.”

“When citric acid was applied while the taste bud was stimulated by NaCl , the action currents became smaller and the response resembled that produced by acid alone.”

“In this study the synergistic effect of NaCl and citric acid on the microstructural evolution of brushite cement was demonstrated and microporosity of macroporous monetite-rich cement blocks was minimized by a variable NaCl porogen size distribution approach.”

“AA and CA treatment effectively inhibited the initial populations of microorganisms including total aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and yeast and molds in salted Chinese cabbage during storage.”

“In addition, all of the sensor responses increased upon adding saltiness-enhancing substances, such as citric acid , tartaric acid and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), to NaCl samples.”
