A naturally derived acidity regulator and stabiliser made from citric acid — the same acid found in lemons and oranges — combined with calcium. Used in preserved fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies, and seafood products to control acidity, prevent browning, and maintain texture. It also adds a small amount of dietary calcium.
