What is Sodium Citrate?

Sodium citrate is the sodium salt of citric acid. It’s a mild alkali that is often used to regulate acidity during the production of certain foods.

This additive is also used as an emulsifier for oils. For example, it prevents cheese from becoming greasy when melted. It works because the sodium acts as a substitute for the calcium that would otherwise help the cheese proteins bind.

Sodium citrate acts as an emulsifier to hold the fat and water together, resulting in a smooth melted cheese without lumps. This is why sodium citrate is added to cheese sauces, fondues, ice cream, and other foods.

The additive is an ingredient in the American Cheese on the Bacon & Cheese Whataburger. It’s also included in the following processed foods and fast food menu items:
