Acidity regulator

Acidity regulators, or pH control agents, are natural or synthesized substances used to change or maintain pH (acidity or basicity). They can be organic or mineral acids, bases, neutralizing agents, or buffering agents. Although many acid regulators are safely used as a food additive,[1] they also have applications in drilling fluids[2], aquariums[3], and any environment where a stable pH is necessary.

Both acidity regulator and pH control agent can be used interchangeably. In the context of food-safe substances, however, acidity regulator is typically used over pH control agent.
