It is commonly used in food products as a stabilizer (that which maintains the uniform dispersal of substances in a food) emulsifier(that which forms or preserves a mixture of substances normally incapable of being mixed eg. oil and water), and texturiser (that which improves the consistency of the food). It also helps to lower the acid levels in processed foods. It can be used as an acid stabiliser in powder to prevent desiccation as well as to prevent the formation of the clump.
