Citric acid, also known by its molecular formula C₆H₈O₇, is a vital weak organic acid. It exists as a colorless crystal with no discernible odor and can be easily dissolved in water, resulting in an acidic solution. In biochemistry, citric acid plays a crucial role as an intermediate in the metabolic process known as the citric acid cycle, which occurs in all aerobic organisms. Due to its versatile properties, citric acid has various applications, including being used as an acidity regulator (GB2760-2014), a seasoning agent, and a chelating agent.

Citric acid, the most abundant organic acid produced through biochemical methods, is a fundamental product in the fermentation industry. It is primarily used in the food industry for various purposes such as acid flavoring agents, solvents, buffering agents, antioxidants, deodorizers, flavor enhancers, gelling agents, and coloring agents. With its versatility and benefits, citric acid has become an essential ingredient in the production of carbonated and fruit juice drinks, as well as in pickled products. Its demand fluctuates according to seasonal changes in climate, with about two-thirds of the total consumption of acid flavoring agents being attributed to citric acid.
In the realm of food additives, citric acid plays a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the flavor of canned fruits, especially those with lower acidity. By adding citric acid, the pH of the fruits can be adjusted, lowering the chances of bacterial growth and preventing swelling and breakage that often occur in canned fruits. In candy production, citric acid serves as an ideal acidity agent, complementing fruit flavors. In gel foods, jams, and jellies, citric acid helps in reducing the negative charge of pectin, making it easier for gel formation. Even in canned vegetables that exhibit alkaline reactions, citric acid can be used as a pH regulator, improving their overall quality. The chelating properties and pH regulation abilities of citric acid also make it a valuable addition in frozen food processing, extending their shelf life .
Citric acid, derived from microbial fermentation, is also widely used in the production of detergents. Its specificity and chelating effects make it an essential component in cleaning agents. When used practically, citric acid provides excellent results and is considered a safe option. The raw materials used in its production come from grains, making it a safe food-grade substance. Furthermore, citric acid is easily biodegradable and does not cause harm to the environment. Its strong chelating abilities, particularly with manganese and iron ions, make it an effective cleaning agent. It also exhibits corrosion inhibition properties, making it gentle on the equipment being cleaned. Compared to inorganic acids, citric acid has a relatively weak acidity, making it less corrosive and safer to use. Its safety, reliability, and ease of disposal make it an ideal choice for chemical cleaning, posing minimal risk to both human health and the environment.
