Citric acid (CA), also known as citric acid, molecular formula for C H O, is an important organic acid, colorless crystal, odorless, has a strong sour taste, soluble in water, is a natural preservative and food additive.
At room temperature, citric acid is a white crystalline powder, odourless and extremely acidic , with a density of 1.542g/cm3 and a melting point of 153-159, and water and carbon dioxide released after decomposition above 175. Citric acid is easily soluble in water and ethanol, and its solubility is 59% at 20, and the pH of its 2% aqueous solution is 2.1Crystal morphology of citric acid varies due to different crystallization conditions. It has weathering property in dry air and hygroscopic property in wet air. It can be decompose into a variety of products by heating, which can react with acid, base and glycerol .

1. FOOD INDUSTRY
Because citric acid has a mild and refreshing acid taste, it is widely used in the manufacture of various beverages,soft drinks,wine,candy,snacks,biscuits, canned juices,dairy products and other foods. In all organic acid market,citric acid market share of more than 70%,so far there is no acid agent can replace citric acid.
2. DETERGENT INDUSTRY
The use of citric acid or citrate as a detergent can improve the performance of washing products, can precipitate metal ions quickly, prevent pollutants from re-adhering to the fabric,maintain the necessary alkalinity for washing.
3. COSMETIC INDUSTRY
Citric acid belongs to a kind of fruit acid,the main effect is to accelerate cutin renewal,often used in emulsion,cream,shampoo,whitening products,anti-aging products,acne products,etc.
