INGREDIENTSYUZU JUICEAcid

Yuzu Juice

Acid · Japanese · Asian

Driven by a high concentration of citric acid and limonene, this juice anchors the sour axis at 6.5. The chemical profile relies heavily on yuzunone and linalool to construct a complex citrus-floral aroma, effectively minimizing fatty or umami interference to maintain a clean, high-acidity output.
