Citric acid is the world's largest biochemical production of organic acid, citric acid and salts are one of the pillar products of the fermentation industry, mainly used in the food industry, such as acidulants, solubilizers, buffers, antioxidants, deodorants, flavor enhancers, gelling agents, toners, etc.
In terms of food additives, it is mainly used for carbonated drinks, fruit juice drinks, lactic acid drinks and other soft drinks and pickled products, and its demand changes due to seasonal climate changes. Citric acid accounts for about 2/3 of the total consumption of acidulants. Adding citric acid to canned fruits can maintain or improve the flavor of fruits, increase the acidity of some fruits with low acidity when stored (reduce pH), weaken the heat resistance of microorganisms and inhibit their growth, and prevent the bacterial expansion and destruction that often occurs in canned fruits with low acidity. Adding citric acid as an acidulant to candy is easy to harmonize with fruity flavors. The use of citric acid in gel foods such as sauce and jelly can effectively reduce the negative charge of pectin, so that the hydrogen bonds between pectin molecules bind and gel. When processing canned vegetables, some vegetables react alkalinely, and citric acid is used as a pH adjuster, which can not only play a seasoning role, but also maintain its quality. Citric acid has the characteristics of chelating and pH regulation, which can increase the performance of antioxidants, inhibit enzyme activity and prolong the shelf life of food in the processing of quick-frozen food.
