Quarterly Report

Acidulant

The application and development of acidity regulators are directly related to the economic benefits of food enterprises. 17 kinds of acidity regulators are now allowed to be used in China, including citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid ,acetic acid, etc. Among them, citric acid is the most used acidity regulator in the food industry. Its annual production capacity accounts for about 70% of the world. China is the largest producer of citric acid in the world.

However, for the domestic market, with the excessive growth of acidity regulators’ production capacity and the serious lag of demand, the problem of oversupply is getting more and more serious.

Due to the increasingly fierce competition in the international market and the backward technology in the domestic production of acidity regulators, it is common for Chinese exporters to lower the price artificially in order to take up foreign markets.
