Citric Acid is white odorless chemical that dissolves readily in water. It is available in granular, fine granular, powder or liquid form. Citric acid occurs widely in plants and animals as a common intermediate metabolite of the Krebs (citric acid) cycle. It is responsible for the characteristic tartness of citrus and many other fruits. Citric acid was previously extracted from lemon juice, but today it is obtained by microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate such as glucose syrup using a selected strain of microorganism. Citric Acid shows the widest buffering capacity (pH 2.5-6.5) of all organic acids, and therefore provides our customers in the food, personal care and pharmaceutical industries with the flexibility needed to formulate high quality end products.
