Encapsulated Citric Acid

[BigJohnT]

What can I use instead of encapsulated citric acid in some snack sticks?

Thanks

Fermento or butter milk will give you a tang.

The fermento costs more and it needs more time at a lower temp to do the work.

I use powdered butter milk.

I have the Buttermilk, how much do I put in as a conversion if the recipe calls for ECA?
Thanks

Well, I took a SWAG and added 1 cup and the leftover fried up patties taste pretty good to me.
