Citric acid (CA), also referred to as citric acid, has the molecular formula C 6 H 8 O 7 and is an essential organic weak acid. It exists as a colorless crystal with no odor, and is easily soluble in water, giving the solution an acidic appearance.
In the field of biochemistry, citric acid plays a crucial role as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, also known as the tricarboxylic acid cycle. This process occurs in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms.
Citric acid is widely utilized as an acidity regulator (in accordance with GB2760-2014 regulations), a seasoning agent, and a chelating agent.

Citric acid, the most abundant organic acid produced through biochemical methods, is a vital component in the fermentation industry. It is widely used in the food industry, serving as an acid flavoring agent, solvent, buffering agent, antioxidant, deodorizer, flavor enhancer, gelling agent, and coloring agent.
Among food additives, citric acid is mainly used in carbonated and fruit juice drinks, lactic acid drinks, and pickled products. Its demand varies based on seasonal climate changes. In the acid flavoring agent category, citric acid accounts for about two-thirds of the total consumption. By adding citric acid to canned fruits, their flavor can be maintained or improved, acidity can be increased for certain fruits with lower pH, and it can inhibit the growth of microorganisms, preventing bacterial swelling and breakage. In candy, citric acid is used as an acidity agent that enhances fruit flavor. In gel food, jam, and jelly products, citric acid effectively reduces the negative charge of pectin, facilitating the binding of pectin molecules and forming a gel. When processing canned vegetables, some may have an alkaline reaction. In such cases, citric acid can act as a pH regulator while also maintaining quality. Its chelating and pH regulation properties make it effective in increasing the performance of antioxidants, inhibiting enzyme activity, and extending the shelf life of frozen foods.
Citric acid, produced through microbial fermentation, is widely used in detergent production. Its specificity and chelating effect play a crucial role. In practical use, citric acid has shown good performance and is considered safe. The raw materials for producing citric acid are grains, making it a safe food grade microorganism. It has minimal impact on the environment and can be easily degraded by microorganisms and heat. Citric acid's chelating ability is quite robust, specifically its ability to chelate manganese and iron ions. It also has a strong corrosion inhibition performance, making it an essential ingredient in chemical cleaning. Compared to inorganic acids, citric acid has relatively weak acidity, making it less corrosive to equipment. Its safety and reliability make it a popular cleaning agent, and its waste liquid is easy to handle without causing harm to human health or the environment.
