Works great, i use 4-8% weight sodium citrate of combined extra mature and gouda cheese, disolved into boiling water and add the cheese (grated) in to the water mix. Use hot on burgers or steak baguettes for immediate enjoyment or set in a suitable container and slice for melting into sausage muffins at a later date. This is now a cupboard must. Edit: realised the instructions for usage might be slightly confusing so heres a simpliar explanation 125ml water (beer is a great substitute, adds a nice flavour profile) 200g gouda 400g extra mature 24-48g (normally about 30g) sodium citrate Ive also added finely diced chilli which is nice, liquid smoke also works just subsitute the smoke for some of the water. Update: Been using this now for quite a long time and it's pretty much a staple ingredient in my cupboard. I'm alot less methodical in terms of weights and measures but it's always seems to work. I mess with the types of cheese, sometimes using cream cheese and extra strong cheddar. Still highly recommend. Review: Say Cheese! - American cheese (Velveeta, Kraft, etc) is probably widely reviled in the UK. BUT...if you want to make nachos, cheeseburgers, toasted cheese, etc, you need something that will melt. Enter sodium citrate which is the needed product to emulsify hard cheese. Mix with grated hard cheese, add some milk/cream and a little salt and heat until liquid. Decant into a mould and you have great home-made American cheese. Google the recipe. ## Features - Rapidly reduces the acidity of food and liquids - Use in spherification and reverse spherification to reduce pH levels of acidic ingredients - Use as a preservative to stop the browning of fruits and vegetables - Use to add a sour salty flavour to foods and drinks - Suitable for Vegans, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Non-Irradiated ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00V0O03NE | | Best Sellers Rank | 13,040 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 3 in Sodium | | Brand | SPECIAL INGREDIENTS | | Brand Name | SPECIAL INGREDIENTS | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 133 Reviews | | Diet Type | Halal, Kosher, Vegan | | Flavour | Sour and Salty | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060341114373 | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Weight | 0.52 Kilograms | | Item form | Powder | | Manufacturer | Special Ingredients Ltd | | Manufacturer Contact Information | SPECIAL INGREDIENTS LTD, Sheepbridge Business Centre, 655 Sheffield Road, Chesterfield, S41 9ED.

I'm only a novice plasterer and working solo, so having an additive that could assist by slowing the setting time by 50% is very handy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Special Ingredients Sodium Citrate 500g (Buffer Salt) Premium Quality, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Glucose Powder 1kg Premium Quality Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container - Xanthan Gum 250g Premium Quality Extra Fine Powder, Vegan, Non-GMO, Gluten Free – Recyclable Container --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/66073447-sodium-citrate-500g-buffer-salt-premium-quality-vegan-non-gmo](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/66073447-sodium-citrate-500g-buffer-salt-premium-quality-vegan-non-gmo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
