This is what you need! Multitude of other uses but main one is stopping cheese splitting when heating. Sodium citrate reduces cheese's acidity, this makes the proteins in the cheese more soluble, and prevents it from separating into a grease & dairy lump mess, instead it creates a smooth, creamy texture. Can be used for cheese; - fondue - dip - sauce - pasta sauce Effectively anything you want gooey cheese for. To use thickness will be dictated by volume of liquid to cheese, remember it’s easier to thin than thicken so better to start with less liquid then add more to get desired texture.
