Okay...What I think is happening with these flavor enhancers.
I think it is a HIDDEN scam in the industry! Nobody tells us we really should be controlling the pH of our juices, but we really need to, and add acid to our juices to lower the pH and allow the flavors to come through.
We ALL now agree that the lemon juice/vinegar additive works. That is what "Tart and Sour" is made to do. But what happens if when adding T&S you go to far and can taste it? Why you just add some "Magic Mask" which is probably alkaline and it raises the pH level.
My guess (Really shooting from the hip here.) as to what "Magic Mask" is made from is baking soda or perhaps baking powder.
(Okay...Just walked over to the fridge and removed the box of baking soda.)
Arm & Hammer brand from the box:
Drug facts
Active ingredient Purpose
Sodium Bicarbonate........Antacid
Hey...Maybe "Magic Mask" will also remove corrosion from battery terminals?
What do you guys think?
