Citric acid is an efficient chelating cleaning agent that is effective against dirt such as calcium, magnesium, iron, chromium, copper, etc. It is widely used for cleaning various metal surfaces.
Because citric acid has a mild and refreshing sour taste, it is widely used in the manufacturing of various beverages, soda, wine, candy, biscuits, dairy products, and other foods.
Among all organic acid markets, citric acid has a market share of over 70%, and there is currently no acid-flavoring agent that can replace citric acid.
Citric acid monohydrate is mainly used as an acidic flavoring agent for fruit juices, jams, fruit sugars, and canned foods, as well as an antioxidant for edible oils.
Anhydrous citric acid is widely used in solid beverages.
Widely used as an acidity agent and pharmaceutical additive in food and beverages. It can also be used as a raw material and additive for cosmetics, metal cleaning agents, mordants, non-toxic plasticizers, and boiler scale inhibitors.
Its main salt products include sodium citrate, calcium, and ammonium salts. Sodium citrate is a blood anticoagulant, while ferric ammonium citrate can be used as a blood tonic.
