Citric acid is the most widely used organic acid and control agent in foods, beverages, rmaceuticals and technical applications.Citric acid occurs as colourless crystals or as white, crystaler with a strongly acidic taste. It is very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 %) and sparingly soluble in ether.Citric acid is non- a low reactivity. It is chemically stable if stored at ambient temperatures. Citric acid is fully biodegradable and can be disposed of with regular waste or sewage.
