Citric acid, also referred to as CA, is a significant organic weak acid with the chemical formula C 6 H 8 O 7 . It is a transparent crystal that lacks odor and can easily dissolve in water, resulting in an acidic solution. Citric acid occupies a central role in biochemistry as an intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, which takes place in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms.
In addition, citric acid is commonly utilized as an acidity regulator (according to GB2760-2014), seasoning agent, and chelating agent. Its versatility and beneficial properties make it a highly valuable substance in various industries and applications.

Citric acid is the most abundant organic acid produced by biochemical methods in the world. It is a pillar product in the fermentation industry and has a wide range of uses in the food industry. It is commonly used as an acid flavoring agent, solvent, buffering agent, antioxidant, deodorizer, flavor enhancer, gelling agent, and coloring agent.
In the food industry, citric acid is primarily used in carbonated drinks, fruit juice drinks, lactic acid drinks, and pickled products. The demand for citric acid varies depending on seasonal climate changes. It accounts for about two-thirds of the total consumption of acid flavoring agents. When added to canned fruits, citric acid helps maintain or improve their flavor, increase acidity, inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and prevent bacterial swelling and breakage. In candy, it acts as an acidity agent and complements fruit flavors. Additionally, citric acid is effective in reducing the negative charge of pectin in gel foods, jams, and jellies, allowing them to bind and form gel. When processing canned vegetables, citric acid can be used as a pH regulator to maintain the quality of the vegetables. Its chelating properties and pH regulation abilities can also enhance the performance of antioxidants, inhibit enzyme activity, and extend the shelf life of frozen foods.
