Substitutes for Lemon Juice in gelato

Lemon juice is the fresh, acidic juice of Citrus limon, about 92% water with only ~2.5 g sugar and ~5-6 g citric acid per 100 g. In gelato it works as a flavor base for lemon sorbetto and as an acidulant that brightens fruit mixes and lightly lowers the freezing point. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked.
