- 100% Pure Citric Acid
- Also Known As: Sour Salt - (NO SALT inside, it is just a nickname)
Organic compound belonging to the family of carboxylic acids, present in practically all plants and in many animal
tissues and fluids. It is one of a series of compounds involved in the physiological oxidation of fats, proteins,
and carbohydrates to carbon dioxide and water (see (tricarboxylic acid cycle).
First isolated from lemon juice by a Swedish chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in 1784, citric acid is manufactured
by fermentation of cane sugar or molasses in the presence of a fungus, Aspergillus niger. It is used in
confections and soft drinks (as a flavoring agent), in metal-cleaning compositions, and in improving the
stability of foods and other organic substances (by suppressing the deleterious action of dissolved metal salts).
