Global Citric Acid Market to Reach 3.0 Million Tons by 2024
Citric acid is a natural and weak organic acid with the chemical formula, C6H8O7. It is commonly found in citrus fruits like lemons, lime, oranges, grapefruits, etc. It is a popular food additive and harmless preservative that helps in stabilizing and preserving food products.
Citric acid is widely used in beverages as an organic acidulant, for controlling the growth of organism, adjusting pH and enhancing flavours. It is also used in bathroom cleaners and detergents as it chelates with metals in hard water, producing foam which helps in removing stains without the need of softening the water. Owing to its safe and non-toxic nature, pleasant acid taste, high water solubility, chelating and buffering properties, citric acid is also used in pharmaceuticals including cosmetics.
