Sodium citrate is the trick to make good cheses melt like American cheese without all the liquid styrofoam and enbalming fluid in it.

Are there any chemists here who can explain how the sodium citrate alters the molecular bonds so that the cheese melts????

If you can't get hold of sodium citrate you can substitute or 2 teaspoons of citric acid + 2.5 teaspoons of baking soda

As far as getting a formula of NaCHO? yes. Taste-wise? there may be some consequences...

The decision to abbreviate "Sodium" to "Na" was made long before Nacho cheese was a thing. Original Nacho cheese didn't use sodium citrate.

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

The original name was Natrium, IIRC. Thus the abbreviation.

Maybe useful for industrial cheese sauce but sauce to be eaten immediately doesn't need it. Just a nice mornay base & don't let it boil.

7 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Yeah, it stabilizes the cheese sauce. It helps for potlucks, fondues, and other grazing situations. If you are making an Alfredo for then no

A mornay should be fine for all of those as long as it doesn't boil. But hey, smoke if ya got 'em.
