Citric acid has a molecular formula of C6H8O7. It is an important organic acid. It is a colorless crystal, odorless, has a strong sour taste, and is easily soluble in water. It is an acidity regulator and a food additive.
Citric acid is the most biochemically produced organic acid in the world, and citric acid and its salts are one of the pillar products of the fermentation industry. Mainly used in the food industry, such as sour agent, solubilizer, buffer, antioxidant, fishy and deodorant agent, flavor enhancer, gelling agent, toner, etc.
Food-grade citric acid is primarily derived from natural, renewable raw materials such as corn or sugarcane, emphasizing its alignment with eco-friendly practices. The use of plant-based substrates not only ensures a sustainable supply chain but also supports the growing consumer demand for products with a reduced environmental footprint. By harnessing nature's resources in a responsible and efficient manner, the production process guarantees that food-grade citric acid remains a green choice for modern food manufacturers.
The production of food-grade citric acid relies on advanced microbial fermentation, a cutting-edge biotechnology that enhances both efficiency and quality. This process uses specific strains of microorganisms to convert raw materials into citric acid under strictly controlled conditions. Through precise temperature, pH, and nutrient regulation, manufacturers achieve consistently high yields and superior product purity. This innovative method ensures a product free from synthetic additives, making it suitable for clean-label food products and premium applications.
The production of food-grade citric acid involves stringent sterile conditions and meticulous purification stages to meet the highest industry standards. Every step, from fermentation to crystallization, is carefully monitored to eliminate contaminants and ensure a final product with over 99.5% purity. These rigorous protocols not only safeguard food safety but also maintain the acid's chemical integrity and performance in diverse applications. The resulting citric acid is a testament to precision engineering and dedication to quality, trusted by food manufacturers worldwide.
