Citric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in many fruits and vegetables, with citrus fruits containing the highest concentrations. This versatile product can be used for a wide range of applications, from food preservation to cosmetic formulations and household cleaning.

In cheesemaking, citric acid is essential for processes like ricotta production. It helps precipitate whey proteins under heat, causing simple proteins (albumins) to form a flaky texture. Citric acid can also adjust pH levels, and is used to enhance aroma production during butter preparation. Its natural sour taste makes it a common ingredient in processed foods and soft drinks, where it also acts as a preservative.

As a softener and descaler, citric acid breaks down metals and calcium in water, making it an excellent solution for dealing with hard water. It is a weak organic acid that is highly effective as a water softener and descaler. With a neutral odor and powerful effects, citric acid is a more efficient option than vinegar for cleaning coffee makers, dishwashers, washing machines, and other household appliances.
