Abstract
A dry food acidulent composition, reminiscent of vinegar when hydrated, comprises a dry food acid, a buffering salt and a fully dissociatable salt. The dry food acid preferably comprises adipic, citric, fumaric, malic acid or a mixture. The buffering salt is preferably a sodium or potassium salt of a food-grade acid such as sodium citrate, potassium citrate, disodium phosphate, dipostassium phosphate, and mixtures. The fully dissociatable salt is preferably sodium chloride or potassium chloride. The preferred weight ratio of the buffering salt to the acid is within the range of from about 0.1:1 to about 0.3:1, that of the fully dissociatable salt to the acid is within the range of from about 1:1 to about 6:1, and that of the fully dissociatable salt to the buffering salt is within the range of from about 10:1 to about 30:1. These compositions are admixed with other dry ingredients to prepare dry sauce and dressing mixes.
