I have used citric acid as a preservative.. I use it to soak apples, pears,
and some other products before dehydrating them, then use the dry product in
my dogs' food with water added to re-hydrate. Never had a problem with my
dogs' stomachs. I prefer the citric acid or lemon juice itself to the cousin
of
anti-freeze used in commercial prepared dog foods. I suppose it would depend
on the amount and source of the citric acid. Others have used sulfites as
preservatives as well...known carcinogens. Debbie
