Application of Citric Acid

  1. Food and Beverage: Citric Acid is widely used as a flavoring and preservative agent in food and beverages. It enhances the sour taste and acts as a natural preservative by lowering the pH, which inhibits microbial growth.
  2. Pharmaceuticals: In the pharmaceutical industry, Citric Acid is used to stabilize active ingredients and improve the solubility of certain drugs. It also acts as a buffering agent to maintain the desired pH level in formulations.
  3. Personal Care: Citric Acid is used in personal care products to adjust the pH and improve the stability of formulations. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting the product from oxidative damage.
  4. Cleaning Products: Citric Acid is a common ingredient in cleaning products due to its ability to dissolve limescale and mineral deposits. It is preferred for its non-toxic and biodegradable nature.
  5. Water Treatment: Citric Acid is used in water treatment processes to chelate metals and adjust pH levels. It helps in preventing scale formation and corrosion in water systems.
