Convenience and ready-to-go foods save time and energy, and thus, there is an increase in the demand for convenience food. These foods include frozen foods, canned foods, ready-to-eat snacks, meals, chilled foods, soups and sauces, seasonings and dressings, and noodles and pasta among others. Convenience foods, including ready-to-eat meals, snacks, and processed foods, often require longer shelf lives to maintain their quality and safety. Acidulants, such as citric acid and malic acid, are used to control the pH of these products, creating an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of spoilage microorganisms and pathogens. This results in extended shelf life and reduced food waste.
Furthermore, acidulants are the key ingredient used in the manufacturing of convenience food to add a refreshing flavor, improve texture and tartness, and enhance the taste of the product. With the increased demand for enhanced convenience/ready-to-eat food due to the busy lifestyle and changing bung preferences of consumers, food processing manufacturers are demanding more acidulants to add to the food product to fulfill the demands.

Key Findings of the Study
Wide Use of Citric Acid and Malic Acid in Emerging Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beverage Applications
In most beverages, citric acid is the first choice to be used as an acidulant. The reason behind this is the specific, relatively mild to slightly sharp sourness and the refreshing effect on most of the fruit flavors. Furthermore, malic acid is used when strong flavor enhancement is expected and mostly in combination with citric acid. Other than these acidulants, phosphoric and succinic acid are also used in beverage applications. Phosphoric acid is mostly used in carbonated beverages such as Cola to bring a specific taste profile and strong effect on pH. Malic acid is commonly used in alcoholic beverages, mostly in fruity coolers and low-alcohol drinks. Succinic acid is used only in instant beverages for home preparation.
The use of citric and malic acids in both emerging alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage applications drives market growth due to their flavor-enhancing, pH-balancing, and preservative properties. These acidulants will remain essential ingredients in creating appealing and marketable beverages as consumer preferences evolve and the beverage industry continues to diversify.
