Citric acid is a natural organic compound, widely used in food, beverages, and cleaning products. Chemically, it’s a weak organic acid (formula: C₆H₈O₇), and it occurs naturally in citrus fruits—especially lemons and limes, where it gives them their tart taste.

Applications of citric acid
In the food industry, manufacturers use it in beverages, fruit juices, and candies. Here, it acts as an acidity regulator, acidulant, and preservative: it boosts product flavor and extends shelf life.
In daily chemical industries, formulators add it to descaling agents, cleaning products, and personal care items. In these products, it adjusts pH levels and provides chelation (binding unwanted minerals).
