Sourcing the best quality Citric Acid 

Citric Acid, a weak acid is typically derived from naturally occurring acids in many fruits and vegetables however commercial production on a large scale involves microbial fermentation with the fungus aspergillus niger.  

Citric that has the chemical formula C6H8O7.

It is an intermediate in the citric acid formula cycle, which occurs in the metabolism of all aerobic organisms. 

On a commercial scale,  producers manufacture more than two and a half million tons of citric acid annually. 

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 solution. An example of the former, a salt is trisodium citrate; an ester is triethyl citrate. When part of a salt, the formula of the citrate ion is written as C6H5O3−7 or C3H5O(COO)3−3.

Citric Acid,  is a common weak organic acid. It is used in a wide range of products, mainly as an "acidulant" which means that it is used to adjust the pH to the acid side of the pH scale. The formula for citric acid is C₆H₈O₇.

 Over half of all citric acid in the world is used in food and beverages to adjust pH, and for enhancing flavors. One unique use is for adding tartness or “sour ” taste in popular candies and food, thus citric acid is also known as “sour salt.”

SOURCING QUALITY CHEMICALS AND INGREDIENTS:

When you source chemicals and ingredients, like citric acid, pay attention to several very key factors:

  • Who is the chemical sourced from and who  manufactured it?  Is the chemical you are buying from a good manufacturer? If you buy an ingredient or chemical like citric acid, from an unknown seller with no real business presence, no address, and no real business experience only doing business on an anonymous site like ebay or Amazon, it is hard to expect you will find the the  best quality ingredients.
