The food acidulants are inorganic and organic ingredients which emits salt part and hydrogen in water solution. The acidity of method is started to increase and the pH is started to decrease when the concentration of hydrogen ions goes up. Several fruits hold natural acids like tartaric acid, citric acid, and malic acid which are responsible for flavour and taste of particular fruit. Manually fermented foods also hold a mixture of various sour taste and acid sensation is generally sign of good quality food. Acids are used by food makers to achieve the texture, increase flavour and taste, maintain colour, buffer, and achieve the required pH of the foods. Acids play a major role in the natural conservation of foods.
