Lemon juice (for the cream)

Description

Lemon juice for cream is a light yellow, clear liquid with an intense, fresh aroma of zest and a distinct, refreshing acidity. In creams and confectionery mixtures, it serves as a flavor and texture regulator: it brightens sweetness, enhances aroma, and helps gently coagulate egg whites and thicken mixtures due to citric acid. Nutritionally, the juice is low in calories, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which support immunity and iron absorption, as well as aid digestion by stimulating the secretion of gastric juices. Typical uses include lemon creams, lemon curd, mousses, butter mixtures, and as an addition to cheesecakes and glazes. It is best to store the juice in a tightly sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in portions in the freezer (ice cubes) to preserve freshness and aroma.
