Dishwasher

DISHWASHER CLEANING
Empty the dishwasher. Add 3 tablespoons of citric acid to the reservoir. Close the cover and run a normal cycle. With the machine still empty, run another normal cycle with regular dishwasher detergent. Heavily soiled dishwashers may require a repeat cycle.

Lemon Juice Substitute

¼ teaspoon of citric acid can generally be used in place of 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice. Note that citric acid has a less lemony ﬂavor.

Sourdough

Add about ¼ teaspoon of citric acid per loaf for a tangier sourdough, tweaking the amount of citric acid to adjust the ﬂavor.

Canned Tomatoes

Enhance a canned tomato recipe by adding ½ teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes. For recipes with lemon juice, reduce the lemon juice by 2 tablespoons.

Stiff Egg Whites

When beating egg whites, add a sprinkle of citric acid to help them stiffen.

Candy

For most candy recipes, use 1⁄8 teaspoon citric acid per 2 cups of sugar. Add more citric acid for a tangier ﬂavor.
For super sour recipes, add 1 teaspoon citric acid per 2 cups of sugar.
For hard or cooked candies, add citric acid only once the syrup has cooled below 265º F to prevent burning.
To make a sweet & sour coating, combine 1 teaspoon of citric acid with 1 cup granulated sugar and mix well.
Add a pinch (1⁄16 teaspoon) of citric acid to gummies to provide a touch of acidity.

Marninade

Marinades are typically a combination of an acid, oil and ﬂavoring which transform the taste and texture of food. Generally, for a marinade with 3 tablespoons of oil, use 1 tablespoon of water mixed with a ¼ tablespoon of citric acid, along with other ﬂavoring. Keep in mind that dense foods like beef and mutton require marinating for longer in a more acidic marinade, while tender foods like chicken, ﬁsh and tofu would marinate in a less acidic recipe for a shorter amount of time.

Game Meat

5 TABLESPOONS citric acid
1 QUART water| In order to help preserve the quality of game meat, apply the mixture immediately once the meat is exposed to the outside environment. Spray until the mixture runs off the meat. Using a pH test strip, test the pH by swabbing many areas of the meat. Be sure to keep the pH under 5, best between 2 and 4.

Animal Feed

1 1 ⁄ 2 TABLESPOONS citric acid
2 QUARTS drinking water| Add citric acid to water to improve the performance and mineralization of the bones, the digestive system and the absorption of nutrients in broilers, piglets, ruminants and calves.

Bath Bombs

Makes approximately 4 bombs:

2 CUPS
baking soda
1 1 ⁄ 4 CUPS
citric acid
1/4 CUP
corn starch or other starch powder
(for buoyancy)
A FEW DROPS
scents and/or coloring| NOTE:
The humidity of the working area will affect the dryness or wetness of the ﬁnal mixture. By trial and error, increase baking soda if the mixture is too wet and decrease baking soda if the mixture is too dry.
1. Whisk the powdered ingredients in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
2. In a separate bowl, add oils, scents, coloring, and about ½ ounce of water. Mix to spread the coloring evenly.
3. While whisking, slowly drizzle the wet ingredients into the powder mix until the mixture is evenly distributed without clumps.
4. Use a spray bottle ﬁlled with water to mist the bowl and keep the mixture just moist enough to stick together in the mold. Spray 2‒3
times every few minutes and continue whisking to prevent the ingredients from activating. If the mixture starts to foam, the mixture is too wet.
5. Scoop the mixture into the bomb molds and pack tightly.

Balance pH

Adding citric acid to water will increase acidity, meaning, lower the water’s pH from its natural pH of 7.
HOW TO CHANGE THE PH OF 1 LITER OF WATER:

DESIRED PH	AMOUNT OF CITRIC ACID TO ADD
6	.14 grams
5	.33 grams
4	.71 grams
3	2 grams
2	44.2 grams
1	563.25 grams

Mold Free

Citric acid is made from fermenting sugar cane using a selected strain of Aspergillus niger mold. After fermentation, the citric acid is ﬁltered and then puriﬁed to ensure that the ﬁnal product does not have any remaining microorganism. Monthly tests are conducted to ensure that there are no remaining mold strains.
