  • Title: Enamel dissolution by various food acidulants in a sorbitol candy.
    Author: Kleber CJ, Putt MS, Muhler JC.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1978 Mar; 57(3):447-51. PubMed ID: 277546.
    Abstract:
    The carboxylic acids used as food acidulants were evaluated for their effect on enamel dissolution in vitro. In water, the potential of the food acids to demineralize enamel was directly proportional to their acidity. However, in a sorbitol candy, the amount of enamel dissolution was correlated with the potential of the acids to chelate calcium.
