Food experiment gone horribly wrong.
Don't try this at home.
Macaroni and cheese packet mixed with olive oil.
I thought maybe this might be useful as a cheese seasoning, but the only way this stuff is even edible is after it is mixed with a big bowl of noodles.
DO NOT try to taste this straight. I don't think I want to know what is in it that makes it taste like that.

Some experiments last night making sodium citrate emulsifier with baking soda and lemon juice.

adding it to sharp cheddar makes an interesting lemon flavored cheese sauce

@bitsavers Sodium citrate as a powder can be directly purchased, and it's terrific - I love making cheese sauce with it.

@michaelgemar

recommendations where to buy it in small quantities?
I don't really need a lifetime supply.

@bitsavers I bought mine from Amazon, and I think they offer packages as small as 100g. But honestly a kilo of it from Amazon is not that much more expensive.

That would make a lot of cheese sauce, but it depends on how much cheese sauce you plan on eating in a lifetime.
