Citric Acid (CA), with the molecular formula C 6 H 8 O 7 , is an important organic weak acid. It is also known as citric acid, and it occurs as a colorless crystal with no odor. This compound is easily soluble in water, and when dissolved, it gives an acidic solution.
In the field of biochemistry, citric acid is known as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle), which takes place in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms. Its role is crucial in this cycle as it facilitates the breakdown of glucose for energy production.
Citric acid has a wide range of commercial applications, including its use as an acidity regulator (GB2760-2014) in food, a seasoning agent, and a chelating agent. Its ability to control acidity makes it a popular additive in the food industry, while its chelating properties make it valuable in the manufacturing of various household and industrial products.

Citric acid is an organic acid that is produced through biochemical methods and is widely used in the food industry. It is the most abundant organic acid in the world and is considered a pillar product in the fermentation industry. The main applications of citric acid in the food industry include acid flavoring agents, solvents, buffering agents, antioxidants, deodorizers, flavor enhancers, gelling agents, and coloring agents.
As a food additive, citric acid is primarily used in carbonated drinks, fruit juice drinks, lactic acid drinks, and pickled products. Its demand varies depending on seasonal climate changes. In fact, citric acid accounts for about two-thirds of the total consumption of acid flavoring agents. When added to canned fruits, it helps maintain or improve their flavor, increase acidity, weaken the heat resistance of microorganisms, and prevent bacterial swelling and breakage. In candy, citric acid serves as an acidity agent and complements fruit flavors. When used in gel foods, jams, and jellies, citric acid can effectively reduce the negative charge of pectin and promote gel formation. Additionally, in canned vegetables, citric acid can be used as a pH regulator to not only enhance flavor, but also preserve their quality. Its chelating and pH regulation properties also make it useful in extending the shelf life of frozen foods.
In addition to its applications in the food industry, citric acid is also commonly used in detergent production. It is an organic acid produced through microbial fermentation and is known for its specificity and chelating effect. In practical use, it has shown good performance and is considered safe for both human health and the environment. This is because citric acid is derived from grains and is produced by food grade microorganisms. It is easily degraded by microorganisms and heat, making it environmentally friendly. Its excellent chelating ability, particularly on manganese and iron ions, makes it an effective cleaning agent. Citric acid is also known for its corrosion inhibition properties, and it is relatively less corrosive to equipment compared to inorganic acids. Overall, the use of citric acid in chemical cleaning is considered safe, reliable, and easy to handle in terms of waste disposal. It poses no threat to human health or the environment.
