What is Citric acid (77-92-9) used for?

Citric acid is a hygroscopic, strong acid with a tart flavor. It is commonly used as an acidulant in various applications, such as fruit drinks and carbonated beverages (at 0.25-0.40%), in cheese (at 3-4%), and in jellies. It also serves as an antioxidant in products like instant potatoes, wheat chips, and potato sticks, where it helps prevent spoilage by trapping metal ions. Additionally, citric acid is used in combination with other antioxidants during the processing of fresh-frozen fruits to prevent discoloration.
