Citric acid is a versatile weak organic acid naturally found in citrus fruits. It is primarily used as a preservative, flavor enhancer, and pH balancer in foods, cosmetics, and cleaning products. Health benefits include improving mineral absorption and providing antioxidant support.
Key Uses
Food and Beverages: Extensively used as a sour flavoring agent and to preserve the freshness and color of sodas, candies, jams, and canned foods.
Household Cleaning: Due to its metal-binding (chelating) properties, it is a highly effective, natural cleaning agent to remove hard water stains, rust, and scale from appliances.
Cosmetics and Skincare: Functions as an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). It is added to cleansers, toners, and bath fizzies to balance pH, exfoliate dead skin cells, and promote a brighter complexion.
