Food grade citric acid: a versatile food flavouring agent and preservative
A weak, naturally-occurring organic acid commonly found in lemons, oranges and limes, citric acid is what gives citrus fruits their tart flavour. Today, citric acid is mostly obtained by microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate.
As a food additive, citric acid can provide flavouring, preservation and colouring. It is popular in soft drinks and confectionery. Citric acid is also an emulsifying agent — in ice cream, for example, it is added to prevent fats from separating.
In medical and pharmaceutical preparations, citric acid can help to control pH, as well as act as an excipient due to its antioxidant qualities.
As well as being an incredibly versatile ingredient in dietary supplements and foods, citric acid is widely used in creams, gels and liquids of all kinds for the cosmetic industry.
