Note about this food

Triethyl citrate is citric acid with three ethyl groups attached, and the change of form is the point: the ester is oily where the acid is a powder, which is what lets it carry a flavour or soften an egg-white foam. Neither the citric acid skeleton nor the ethyl groups are a fermentable carbohydrate, an amine precursor or a plant defence compound, and it is used in fractions of a per cent.
