Functions:

 

1.Citric acid is a weak organic acid. It is a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic, or sour, taste to foods and soft drinks.

2.In biochemistry, it is important as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle and therefore occurs in the metabolism of almost all living things.

3.It also serves as an environmentally benign cleaning agent and acts as an antioxidant.

4.Citric acid exists in a variety of fruits and vegetables, most notably citrus fruits.At room temperature, citric acid

is a white crystalline powder. It can exist either in an anhydrous (water-   free) form or as a monohydrate.the monohydrate forms when citric acid is crystallized from cold water.
