Beverages Held the Largest Market Share
Acidulants are used to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in the sugary drinks, making the beverages segment the largest consumer of food-grade acidulants. Citric acid, owing to its natural and abundant occurrence, has been used extensively in the beverage industry to infuse its tangy taste in the drink. However, many leading beverage companies across the world are now replacing citric acid with phosphoric acid in their product compositions, portraying an optimistic market for the ingredient. For instance, Coca-Cola incorporates phosphoric acid, which is used in its certain sparkling beverages to add tartness to the beverage.
