Food industry
Citric acid is known as the first edible sour agent, China GB2760-1996 is a requirement for allowing the use of food acidity regulator. In the food industry widely used as a sour agent, solubilizer, buffering agent, antioxidant, removing fishy smell removing sweetening agent, chelating agent, its specific purpose, numerous enumeration.
1. drinks
According to domestic and international statistics, the total consumption of the beverage industry accounts for 75%~80% of the total citric acid production. Citric acid juice is one of the natural ingredients, not only gives the fruit flavor but also solubilization buffer, antioxidant effect, the drink sugar, flavor, pigment, and other ingredients blend of coordination, the formation of harmonic taste and aroma, can increase resistance the antiseptic effect of microorganisms.

Boiled sugar, the massecuite cooling process is to put acid and pigment, essence, joined together. Pectin candy production of citric acid can regulate sour taste and gel strength increased. Anhydrous citric acid is used for chewing gum and powder food.
4. frozen food
Citric acid has the characteristics of chelating and regulating pH, can strengthen the role of antioxidants and enzyme inactivation, can more reliably ensure the stability of frozen food.
Pharmaceutical industry
Effervescent is popular oral drug ingredients release system, citric acid, and sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate solution common reaction produces large quantities of CO2 (i.e. effervescent), and sodium citrate, can quickly dissolve and enhance the ability to taste the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
