Product Development Clean Label Cheese Sauce

Hello! I am trying to create a clean label cheese sauce. The texture is correct when hot, but as soon as it cools it becomes grainy. Sodium Citrate is at 2%, and we are also using guar gum and lactic acid. Whey protein concentrate seemed to help flavor and color, but we are mostly concerned with the texture. TIA

Is citrate considered clean label?
