Citric acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula HOC(CO2H)(CH2CO2H)2. It is a colorless weak organic acid. It occurs naturally in citrus fruits. In biochemistry, it is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, which occurs in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms. More than two million tons of citric acid are manufactured every year. It is used widely as an acidifier, a flavoring, and a chelating agent. A citrate is a derivative of citric acid; that is, the salts, esters, and the polyatomic anion found in the solution. An example of the former is salt is trisodium citrate; an ester is triethyl citrate. When part of a salt, the formula of the citrate anion is written as C6H5O3−7 or C3H5O(COO)3−3.
Application
1. Widely used in all kinds of drinks, soft drinks, wine, candy, snacks, biscuits, canned fruit juices, dairy products, also can be used as a cooking oil antioxidant. Anhydrous citric acid is used in solid drinks a lot.
2. Citric Acid is a good rock mixture, Can be used for testing the acid resistance of ceramic tile of architectural pottery reagents.
3. Citric acid and sodium citrate buffer used for flue gas desulfurization.
4. Citric acid is a kind of fruit acid, that can be used to accelerate the cutin renewal, commonly used in lotions, creams, shampoo, whitening, anti-aging products, acne products.
Application:
Citric Acid is mainly used as a flavoring agent, preservative for the food and beverage industry. It also can be used as an antioxidant, plasticizer, detergent in chemical, cosmetics, and detergent industries. As a food additive, Citric Acid Monohydrate is an essential food ingredient in our food supply.
usage
1. Used in the chemical and textile industry
The citric acid in chemical technology can be used as chemical analysis reagents, as experimental reagents, chromatographic reagents, and biochemical reagents; Used as a complexing agent, masking agent; To prepare buffer solution. Can improve the performance of washing products, can quickly precipitate metal ions, prevent contaminants from reattached to the fabric, maintain the essential alkaline washing.
2. Used in the food industry
Because citric acid has a mild and refreshing sour taste, it is widely used in the manufacture of various beverages, soda, wine, candy, snacks, biscuits, canned fruit juice, dairy products, and other foods. In all the markets for organic acids, citric acid market share of more than 70%, flavoring agent, can also be used as an antioxidant in edible oils.
3, for the environmental protection industry
Citric acid - sodium citrate buffer is used for flue gas desulfurization. China is rich in coal resources, which is the main part of energy. However, there is a lack of effective flue gas desulfurization technology, which leads to serious pollution of atmospheric SO2. Citric acid sodium citrate buffer solution is desulfurization absorbent with a high development value because of its low vapor, non-toxic, stable chemical properties, and high SO2 absorption rate.
4. Used in the feed industry
Adding citric acid to the feed of piglets can wean early and increase the feed utilization rate by 5% ~ 10%. Adding citric acid in the diet of growing and finishing pigs can increase daily gain, reduce feed to meat ratio, increase protein digestibility, reduce backfat thickness, and improve meat quality and carcass characteristics.
5. Used in the cosmetics industry
Citric acid belongs to a kind of fruit acid, main effect is to accelerate cutin update, often used at emulsion, milk cream, shampoo essence, beautiful white things, anti-aging things, whelk things. The regeneration of cutin is helpful to the peeling off of the skin's medium melanin, the narrowing of pores, and the dissolution of blackheads.
6. Used in the pharmaceutical industry
Citric acid must have calcium ions in the formation of the prothrombin activator and subsequent coagulation process. Citrate ions and calcium ions can form a soluble complex difficult to dissociate, thus reducing the concentration of calcium ions in the blood, so that blood coagulation is blocked. It can be used as an in vitro anticoagulant in blood transfusion or laboratory blood samples.
