General Questions
What is Triammonium Citrate?
About Triammonium Citrate
Triammonium citrate is a compound formed by combining citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits, with ammonia.
Triammonium citrate is occasionally used as an acidity regulator and buffering agent in certain processed foods and beverages. It helps control the pH levels, which can affect taste and texture. However, it is generally considered safe for consumption when used within established limits, and it doesn't typically accumulate in the body.
While triammonium citrate may be present in some food products, its levels in the body are generally not a significant health concern. The body efficiently processes and eliminates ammonia and citric acid. However, it's essential to maintain a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables for overall health.
