pH lowering food ingredient
Many foods, from soups and sauces to drinks and prepared salads, require an acidifer. Food grade sodium acid sulfate, branded as pHase®, has the unique ability to lower pH without generating a sour taste. As a safe, strong mineral acid, a low addition rate is needed to achieve performance while providing a natural flavor characteristic with a bright, clean aftertaste.
A versatile tool for food formulators
pHase® complements the true flavor of vanilla, coffee, tea, chocolate and other brown flavors, and brings out the ripe, juicy notes of non-citrus flavors like peach. pHase™ is ideal for uses such as:
- Beverages (sports drinks, flavored waters, teas, coffees, bar mixes, alcoholic beverages, beverage concentrates)
- Salad dressing (blue cheese, ranch, buttermilk)
- Sauces (teriyaki, marinades, alfredo)
- Soups
- Salsa
- Prepared Salads (egg salad, potato salad, macaroni salad)
- Processed cheese sauces and spreads
- Confectionary (Fillings and toppings such as doughnut fillings, pie fillings, toaster strudel)
pHase® also helps formulators:

- Reduce use of salt in prepared foods by up to 40%
- Reduces acrylamide formation by 60% with no adverse effects on taste or appearance.
