| Application | Citric acid is the most widely used organic acid and pH-control agent used in the food and beverage industry today. A naturally occurring fruit acid, citric acid (C6H8O7) is produced commercially by microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate substrate. In soft drinks, teas, juices, and other beverages, citric acid delivers a flavour-enhancing and sweetness-balancing effect. It’s also frequently used as an emulsifying agent, chelating agent and a general purpose food flavouring agent; plus, because many bacteria are unable to grow in an acidic environment, C6H8O7 is often added to sauces, jams, meat products and canned foods as a preservative. — Other uses include pharmaceutical and technical applications; C6H8O7 can be applied as an excipient (as an acidulant, pH regulator and effervescent aid) in tablets, dry blends, emulsions and suspensions. |
