acidulated
Made mildly tart
Acidulated means slightly soured or made acidic, typically by adding a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar.
The term appears most often in cooking: acidulated water prevents cut fruit or vegetables from browning.
The word suggests a mild, controlled tartness rather than strong acidity.
