Citric Acid
Molecular Formula: C6H8O7
Molecular Weight: 192.12
CAS No.: 77-92-9
EINECS: 201-069-1
H. S. Code: 29181400
Standard: BP93/BP98/USP24/E330
Appearance: White Crystal
Properties
Citric acid is a weak organic acid. It is a natural preservative and is also used
To add an acidic, or sour, taste to foods and soft drinks. In biochemistry, it is
Important as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle and therefore occurs in the
Metabolism of almost all living things. It also serves as an environmentally benign
Cleaning agent and acts as an antioxidant. Citric acid exists in a variety of fruits
And vegetables, most notably citrus fruits. At room temperature, citric acid is a
White crystalline powder. It can exist either in an anhydrous (waterfree) form or as
A monohydrate the monohydrate forms when citric acid is crystallized from cold water.
More than 50% is being used as acidulent in beverages and some 20% in other food
Applications. 20% is being used for detergent applications and 10% for other non food
Related applications like cosmetics and chemical industry.
