Description
Citric acid is a weak organic acid that occurs naturally in citrus fruits. The dominant use of citric acid is as a flavoring and preservative in food and beverages especially soft drinks and candies. Citric acid can be added to ice cream as an emulsifying agent to keep fats from separating to caramel to prevent sucrose crystallization or in recipes in place of fresh lemon juice. Citric acid is used with sodium bicarbonate in a wide range of effervescent formulae both for ingestion (e.g. powders and tablets) and for personal care (e.g. bath salts bath bombs and cleaning of grease). It has use in culinary applications as an alternative to vinegar or lemon juice where a pure acid is needed.
