Summary

Organic acids are present in low amounts in most foods, both as ingredients and as natural components and in considerable amounts in acid foods. The state diagrams of citric acid-, tartaric acid- and lactic acid-water systems are presented here. The state diagrams can be useful in controlling and predicting the physical changes of amorphous and glassy systems in non equilibrium state during processing and storage.
