Sodium Citrate is the sodium salt of Citric Acid. Like Citric acid, it has a sour taste and like other salts, it also has a salty taste. Hence, this is why it is commonly known as sour salt and is mainly used as an additive, usually as a flavor or as a preservative. It reduces the acidity of foods, so it allows spherification with stongly acidic ingredients. Sodium Citrate is also used as an antioxidant in food as well as a sequestrant. It dissolves easily and acts instantaneously. Customers have had fantastic results using this product in their mac and cheese recipes and cheese sauces - many customers just add 1 teaspoon of sodium citrate per 8 ounce of shredded cheese. Review: Works great for making a cheese sauce. - I used this to make cheese sauce with milk, cheddar cheese, and a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes. It worked well, creating a silky texture for the cheese. Very easy to use, simply add a small amount, depending on the size of your batch. A little goes a long way, start with a little and see if you need more. It does not seem to affect the taste of the cheese sauce very much, which I find to be a good thing. Because a little goes a long way the size of this package should last most home users for a long time. Seemed like a good value compared to the others I have looked at. An excellent emulsifier. Review: Great product for making the smoothest cheese sauce! Good value. - Outstanding product and LOTS of it. You only need a tiny bit to whip up a super smooth cheese sauce from real cheese that won't break into an oily mess. Natural and without flavor. I finally found this after 47 years of cooking without it, and I'm really glad I did! Bag seals tightly for storage; I suspect it last forever. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07NF4B3Y7 | | Brand | Spicy World | | Brand Name | Spicy World | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 841 Reviews | | Flavor | Unflavoured | | Flavour | Unflavoured | | Item Form | Powder | | Manufacturer | Spicy World | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Size | 1 Pound (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 692991709651 | | Unit Count | 453.4 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Spicy World - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Flavour:** Unflavoured - **Item Form:** Powder - **Size:** 1 Pound (Pack of 1) ## Images ![Sodium Citrate Powder 16 Ounce - Food Grade, Non-GMO - 1 Pound Bag - Emulsifier for Cheese, Spherification, and Molecular Gastronomy Cooking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PDCJWMSbL.jpg) ![Sodium Citrate Powder 16 Ounce - Food Grade, Non-GMO - 1 Pound Bag - Emulsifier for Cheese, Spherification, and Molecular Gastronomy Cooking - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-BlpAwg8L.jpg) ![Sodium Citrate Powder 16 Ounce - Food Grade, Non-GMO - 1 Pound Bag - Emulsifier for Cheese, Spherification, and Molecular Gastronomy Cooking - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kSf8jv9kL.jpg) ![Sodium Citrate Powder 16 Ounce - Food Grade, Non-GMO - 1 Pound Bag - Emulsifier for Cheese, Spherification, and Molecular Gastronomy Cooking - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-dnanOYZL.jpg) ![Sodium Citrate Powder 16 Ounce - Food Grade, Non-GMO - 1 Pound Bag - Emulsifier for Cheese, Spherification, and Molecular Gastronomy Cooking - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814zVp4k0-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why does this say non-gmo? it's just a salt. might as well add "gluten free" or "blessed by unicorns".** A: I won't speculate on this manufacturer's basis for the non-GMO claim, but citric acid (an ingredient in sodium citrate) can be (and sometimes is) made using genetically modified organisms. Example 1: the citrus plants (e.g., lemon trees) from which the acid is extracted might be GMO. Example 2: Either or both the fungus (e.g., aspergillus niger) and/or the molasses used to produce citric acid via the fermentation method could be GMO. Typically these are industrial scale processes, so frankly I would be shocked if the organisms employed are NOT optimized by genetic modification. **Q: Is this trisodium citrate (E331 iii) or monosodium citrate (E331 i)? Is it anhydrous or the hydrate?** A: The description of this item states: Sodium Citrate (E331). Sodium Citrate most commonly appears as the salt trisodiumcitrate and can be used as an emulsifier, calcium sequestrant, acidity regulator, and preservative. In molecular gastronomysodium citrate is widely used in spherification to regulate acidity and reduce calcium content to prevent early gelation. **Q: I see that this PACKAGED in the USA. Can you tell me where the product is originally made?** A: it doesn't say... its marketed and distributed by spicy world usa out of houston, tx. **Q: 5.6lbs o 16oz?** A: It is a 16 ounce package (1LB) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for making a cheese sauce. *by S***R on 19 August 2025* I used this to make cheese sauce with milk, cheddar cheese, and a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes.

Works great! I've noticed the price per oz. is going up about 10% per year so buy early. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sodium Citrate Powder 14 Ounce - Food Grade, Non-GMO - Emulsifier for Cheese, Spherification, and Molecular Gastronomy Cooking - ARM & HAMMER Super Washing Soda Household Cleaner and Laundry Booster, 55 oz Box - Viva Doria 100% Pure Citric Acid, Food Grade, Fine Grain, 2 lb (907 g) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/733543339-sodium-citrate-powder-16-ounce-food-grade-non-gmo-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/733543339-sodium-citrate-powder-16-ounce-food-grade-non-gmo-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
