Galimax Citrika is a liquid blend of natural lactic acid partially buffered with citric acid, produced by Galactic. This synergistic blend combines the mild acidity and flavor-enhancing properties of lactic acid with the well-known tartness and buffering capacity of citric acid.

In confectionery applications, Galimax Citrika is specifically formulated for controlled sugar inversion. The lactic acid/citric acid buffer system provides precise pH management during candy cooking, allowing confectioners to achieve consistent sugar inversion rates and desired texture outcomes. This level of pH control helps prevent excessive inversion (which can lead to sticky products) or insufficient inversion (which can result in graining).

The product contains 44.5 – 47.5% lactic acid and 29 – 35% citric acid plus citrate, with a small amount of potassium (1.2 – 1.6% w/w) that contributes to the buffering system. It has GRAS status and is Kosher and Halal certified.
