Question

Name any two organic acids which are used by us as food ingredients ​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Lactic acid.
• Acetic acid.
• Citric acid.

Explanation:

An organic acid is an organic compound with acidic properties. The most common organic acids are the carboxylic acids, whose acidity is associated with their carboxyl group –COOH. Sulfonic acids, containing the group –SO2OH, are relatively stronger acids. Alcohols, with –OH, can act as acids but they are usually very weak.

Organic acids are used in food preservation because of their effects on bacteria. The key basic principle on the mode of action of organic acids on bacteria is that non-dissociated (non-ionized) organic acids can penetrate the bacteria cell wall and disrupt the normal physiology of certain types of bacteria that we call pH-sensitive, meaning that they cannot tolerate a wide internal and external pH gradient

Answer 2

Answer:

Citric acid and Lactic acid are used by us as food ingredients.
