Citric Acid Esters of Mono-and Diglycerides (CITREM)
Citric Acid Esters of Mono- and Diglycerides (CITREM) are food additives used primarily as emulsifiers. These compounds are derived from the esterification of citric acid with mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. They are commonly found in a variety of food products to improve texture, stability, and shelf life. CITREM emulsifier is often used in dry mix products, such as cake mixes, powdered drinks, and dry seasoning blends.
