Description

Citric acid monohydrate is a naturally occurring organic compound in the form of a white or almost white crystalline powder or granules. This product is obtained by sub-surface fermentation using glucose or sucrose as a carbohydrate substrate. It is characterised by a strongly acidic taste and no odour.

The acid is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Due to its acidifying, preservative and chelating properties, it is one of the most commonly used acidity regulators in food and beverage production. In addition, it has antioxidant properties and supports the stability of end products.
