We have profound expertise and network to supply the world’s renowned brand of Citric acid. Because of its acidic, sour-tasting nature, citric acid is predominantly used as a flavoring and preserving agent, especially in soft drinks and candies.
The odorless and colorless compound was produced from lemon juice until the early 1900s when researchers discovered that it could also be made from the black mold Aspergillus niger, which creates citric acid when it feeds on sugar.
It’s also used to stabilize or preserve medicines and as a disinfectant.

Citric acid is one of many metabolites produced by Aspergillus species. It possesses sweet-and-sour sensory notes, and succinic acid has a salty—bitter taste. With the change in soil and climatic condition, the citric acid amount in vegetables and fruits also varies. 

Applications

• Boilers and Evaporators
• Soaps & Laundry Detergents
• Household cleaners
• Deodorizers
• Cosmetics
• Personal Care products
• Water Treatment
• Lotions

Benefits

• Citric acid is an excellent chelating agent, binding metals by making them soluble. It is used to remove and discourage the buildup of limescale from boilers and evaporators. With the help of citric acid lime scale from evaporators and boilers is removed
• It plays a significant role in the application of baby products, bath products, cleansing products, eye makeup, shaving preparations, hair and skin care products.
• Household cleaners used in kitchen and bathroom also contain some amount of citric acid

• It is found in hand soap, body wash, nail polish face cleansers, shampoos and some other cosmetics products.
• Citric acid is used as a water softener in detergents, because of it’s an organic acid, chelating, and buffering properties.
• The chemical properties of citric acid as a weak organic acid make it a strong softener for water.
• It operates by breaking down the trace quantities of metal discovered in water, making it an optimal all-natural option for hard water treatment.
• Excellent cleaner for processing lines and filters
• Used in astringent lotions to treat oily skin having large pores
